Hi,
Thank you for your query.
As your doctor has tried steroid and anti-fungal treatment to treat you grand-daughter without any relief I suggest that you consult a dermatologist who will be in a better position to guide you. Without having a look at the lesions it is not possible for me to guide you with the treatment.
I hope I have answered your query to your satisfaction.
Wishing your grand-daughter an early recovery.
Regards,
RKK
