Pediatrician, Pulmonology 's  Response
Hi...by what you quote I feel that she might be having a condition called Acrodermatitis Enteropathica where in due to zinc deficiency there will be skin changes like what you have mentioned along with diarrhea. The kid might not also gain weight well.

If it is simple fungal infection then it should have gotten better with anti fungal creams. Moreover it will not cause diarrhea of 1 month duration like this.

I suggest you consult your pediatrician or pediatric gastroenterologist with this tip.
