Detailed Answer:
Hello
Thanks for the query and photograph.
It is looking like fungal infection. This type of infection is common in fold areas like that of neck. I treat such cases with a topical antifungal cream like clotrimazole, to be applied twice daily for a month.
It is safe and effective.
Ask him to apply this.
Let me know if you have any other doubts.
