Dermatologist 's  Response
Hello,
Thank you for posting on HCM.
I can understand your concern regarding the skin lesions your brother is having. It seems he must have got some fungal skin infection (Tinea) but its difficult to point specific diagnosis in absence of clinical examination.
Therefore, I insist you to post good clinical pictures to me so that I can help you in a better way.
