Tinea

My 16 yr.old son recently developed Athlete's feet after a trip.  After a week he developed 2 spots on his knees.  I took him to a dermatologist who was puzzled.  He scraped and took samples to send for a lab exam.  He poked one of the spots with a q-tip.  He said it wasn't athlete's foot.  That night the spot blistered and became filled with clear fluid.  The doctor prescribed Keflex 500mg. 4 times a day for 10 days.  He said if it is bacterial it will respond.  It is responding.  I am wondering if athlete's foot can show up on the knee also? We haven't heard back from the doctor on the culture.  Can a bacteria cause skin eruptions? Thanks!
