My piggy have a fungal problems 1 week ago, its gone when I clean the cage, bath him and a medicine to use on skin.
But 2 day later the day I bath him and clean his cage, he got a fungal again but just a little at his nose. Lost a little bit further on neck.
I wonder why? I clean his cage 2 times/week. Why its happen again?
I need a lot of help.

First, what are you treating him with?

Second, most fungal medicines have to be applied once or twice a day. And you should keep applying them for several days after all symptoms have gone and the lesion looks like it's healing. Fungus takes a while to get rid of, and if you stop the medicine too soon, it'll just come back.

Third, can you post a picture?

1st: Carrot and apple
2nd: Oh :( May I forgot this, I use twice a day but when its gone, I stop.
3rd: here the fungal on my baby's feet :( :( from his nose is gone and under the neck too but under the neck lost a few further :(

You're treating him with carrot and apple? Neither one of those will do anything for fungus. Or do you mean that you're giving him carrot and apple for treats?

I meant what kind of medicine are you treating the fungus with? What is the name, and the strength of the medicine? It will usually say x gm/ml, or x mg/ml, or something like that.
