Hi
Thank you for asking HCM
I have gone through your query. Your son's problem can be due to fungal infection like tinea corporis. If you send a picture of this then it will be more helpful in identifying. Examination with your GP is well appreciated to rule out this. If fungal infection and if you were my patient then i would recommend using ketoconazole lotion or miconazole cream for local application.
Hope this may help you. Let me know if anything not clear.
Thanks.
