Suggest Remedies For A Sore On Left Earlobe In A Breast Cancer Patient
My sister has stage 4 breast cancer and has received every form of chemotherapy she can take at this point. The doctors gave her approximately two months to live. She s developed a sore on her earlobe or rather on the lobe itself but underneath the lobe. The earlobe looks almost Like it s half there. Could you offer some advice as to what this is or a link to a site that would allow us to find out what it is and why it s not healing. She went to her dermatologist who prescribed some topical ointment for it but we just wanted a second opinion or to be referred to a link where we can view people who have similar sores and I thank you very much for your time. Sincerely, Mary Rastall

HI
Well come to HCM
I really appreciate your concern, if this is the history of malignancy and have some wound then chances of fungal infection is very likely and it can be taken care for that, you can discus this with your doctor for this, once it is confirm the fungal infection then it need to be treated with antifungal medicines hope this information helps.
