Brief Answer:
bacterial/fungal infections

Detailed Answer:
Hi
Thanks for the query

AF Kit
is used to treat a variety of skin conditions (e.g., eczema, fungal skin infections such as ringworm/athlete's foot/jock itch).

This product contains 2 medications.
1 Clioquinol (also known as iodochlorhydroxyquin) is an antibiotic that works by preventing the growth of fungus/bacteria.

2 Hydrocortisone is a mild corticosteroid that works by reducing the swelling, redness, and itching that occurs in the affected skin.

Your doctor has prescribed both of you to use it together to prevent the spread of infection among you both.So he is treating both of you together
