Are Dry Eyes, Bump In Nose And Dark Patches On Vulva Suggestive Of Parasitic Infection?

It seems like fungal or parasite
Detailed Answer:
Hi
Thanks for your query.
I have read your query and I am sorry to know what you are dealing with. I think your problems are starting from well water.
It does seem like a combination of fungal and parasitic infection. More chances of some type of fungal infection. A biopsy from the skin lesions, biopsy from mouth lesions and a stool test for ova, parasites and culture can confirm the type of infestation.
Anyways the treatment is similar for any type of parasitic/fungal infection.
For parasitic infection, apply lindane lotion or permethrin lotion over the whole body including head and neck before sleeping. Do not apply it over face or near eyes. It is not to be applied in mouth also. Just for external use. Wash it the day after. Repeat the process every week until the parasites are "gone". A tablet of albendazole 400 mg twice a day for 3 days can also be taken. This process should take care of any parasites. Check with veterinarian doctor and get anti-parasitic treatment for the animals as well.
Treatment for fungal infection is more difficult and is usually lifelong. It is also accompanied with considerable side effects. I dont know if it will be effective in your case. But you can definitely try the topical antifungal creams like miconazole cream.
I hope you are not drinking well water as such. It should be germ-free before you drink it. Reverse osmosis technique is most effective in cleaning water. These water purifiers can be installed in one's home.
Get your nose and throat examined by an ENT specialist. Also get examined by a surgeon.
Hope this helps. Let me know if I can assist you further.
