Hello..Welcome to HCM.

I am Dr Jigar(ID specialist).

I can understand your problem but few things needs attention like type of lesion, exact locations, presence of itching, discharge, color of lesion etc. If i was your treating doctor then i would have taken infected material from lesion and would have sent it for microscopy and culture.

This will help in diagnosis of responsible fungal or other agent and treatment. In my opinion you should consult expert dermatologist for this.

I hope this will help you. Do revert back to us if need further assistance.

Regards.
