How To Treat Fungal Infection?

A friend of mine has been developing a sort of bruising under her armpits, breasts, legs and on the palms of her hands. It is not really a rash and the doctor s have ruled out lupis or fungal infection. Her skin in those areas have turned to a purpleish/brownish colour and it burns to the touch. Her hands are even swelling a bit. It started about a month ago and has been progressively been getting worse in the order I listed above. Any ideas?

Infectious Diseases Specialist,  's  Response
Hello, thank you for your contact to healthcare magic. If I am your doctor I would like to see your friends lesion. In skin disease diagnosis is usually made by the visual inspection. But from your symptoms it appears more of lupus. Take the antibiotic cream for local application like soframycin. Also use steroid like prednisolone tablet, and betnovate cream for local application. But remember confirm diagnosis is necessary. If you have to ask anything else kindly contact me. Dr. Arun Tank. Infectious disease specialist. Thank you.
