I had gone through your query and can understand it.
This is classical fungal infection which is contaminated occurs in such type of duties due to less hygiene maintenance of body and clothes. So, tell him to maintain the hygiene and keep the area clean and dry.
Also tell him to wash his clothes separately in hot water and hang them in full sun-light. Avoid wearing of other people’s clothes. Change the bed sheet and pillow cover daily. Use individual bathing soap.
Hope this information will be helpful to resolve your query and further queries are always welcome. I would definitely like to answer them.
Wish your son good health. Take Care, Thank You.
