Fungal treatment

If a newt has a fungus infected wound, should I keep him aquatic or terrestrrial, and in what setup?
The newt in question is a paramesotriton sp. and has a graze along the lower end of his dorsal ridge above the cloaca. I have him in a quarantine aquatic setup with one hiding place.I have tried salt baths and water life protozin treatment, and althooough they hold the fungus back, they do not destroy it completely. He is not too sluggish, but hasn't eaten for 1 and 1/2 weeks.
Any ideas

    Dear All, I would appreciate some help identifying P. waltl disease and treatment. We received newts from Europe early November and a few maybe 3/70 had what it looked like lesions under the legs- at that time we thought maybe it was the stress of travel- now we think they probably had "red leg syndrome" (see picture). However a few weeks later other newts started to develop skin lesions (picture enclosed). The sender recommended to use sulfamerazine and we have treated them 2x and we are not sure they are all recovering. Does anyone have any experience with P. waltl diseases and could give some input on this? Any input would be greatly appreciated! Thank you.
