Hi,
Thanks for writing in.

Since you are having fungal infection on left fingers, therefore it is important to get it treated with antifungal medicines. Ig ointments do not work or show limited response then oral anti fungal medicines are to be given.

The mouth ulcer might also be fungal in origin. Taking oral anti fungal medicines should treat the mouth condition also shoulf it be due to fungal infection. Please maintain oral hygiene. If there is no relief even with oral anti fungal drugs then it will be wise to get a biopsy done after detailed evaluation by your doctor. Cancer is less likely. Please do npt worry.
