Rash on hand and back.

2019-12-17 14:53:28
Hello, I have the below attached rash on hand and back. I went to a dermatologist and he diagnosed it as superficial fungal infection and termed as P. Versicolor. But i forgot to ask him a question. Just wanted to know if this fungal infection is contagious??? As i have a 6 months baby and i carry him , i am afraid if he will also get the same infection from me. Please let know. Thanks in advance..
