Does Red Mark On Back And Chicken Pox Indicate Ringworm?

Hi, may I answer your health queries right now ? Please type your query here...
My son is 3 years old. He recently developed a strange red mark on the skin of his back.The doctor prescribed an anti-fungal cream and said he didn't think it was ringworm because there were no other symptoms. He also had thrush from a public toilet though i dont know if this is related. My son has complained of itching inside his anus and has got quite distressed. The thrush has cleared up. The mark on his back is still there. To complicate matters he has also got chicken pox yesterday. Could he have ringworm?

Thanks for posting on HCM!
Don't be too worried about his condition. with red spots grow individually, because he's so itchy fungal infection. antifungal has topical than 2 weeks , should be sufficient to eradicate. If he have chickenpox, he also had symptoms of fever, cough, rash bullous. You should continue to topical antifungal for him.
Thank you!
