Primo is still a puppy that is to be 1 month old this July,and we have been noticing that he and his sister Portia has some red bumps on their legs and tail, we have them check with a vet and diagnosed as a fungal infection. and she recommended to give medication on the skin and to keep them away from each other and their mother, but the mother is still grooming them, instead she gave us vitamins for skin care. I just wanted to know is there a home remedy we can put on the infections? thank you.

I agree with your vet's recommendations for now. Often times lesions will look worse before they look better. I suggest you continue as directed and if this lesion doesn't go away I would suggest your do a biopsy.
