It is understandable that he is shy. But without a skin examination by a dermatologist you are risking the spread/worsening of the condition. Because you say it's a'fungal' infection doesn't necessarily mean it is so and looking at the photos it doesn't look like infection at all. A lot of skin conditions look similar. So taking advise without visiting a dermatologist will not help you. Please visit one as soon as possible. Visit a male dermatologist if need be.
