Hello,
Thanks for the query,

If it is really a fungal infection, you did wrong by applying clobetasol.

It is a strong steroid and would aggravate the lesion.

Meet a dermatologist, get tested for fungus, and never apply a steroid.

Let me know if you have any other doubts.

you can ask a direct question to me on this forum, following the below link.
