Hi, I understand your apprehension but the doctor is actually likely correct, this is a fungal infection due to sweating and will settle down with the treatment given, the things is to avoid sweating and this can be done by making the child wear light clothes and bathing at least twice a day and using cooler or air conditioning as needed
