hi
this is common in diabetics.. a fungal infection due to diabetes which causes u immunodeficient.. so the cause is diabetes so control your DM first. what eA1c ver antifungal cream u use may not be helpful. the swelling can be controlled with antiinflammatory drugs like aceclofenac plus serratio peptidase .. with some antibiotic also. check ur HbA1c to know ur 3 months average sugar to know ur 3 months diabetic status . dont worry..
