What Causes Fungal Infection In Fingers And Toes And Swelling Of Eyelids?
Have nail fungus in 1 finger and 2 toenails; before that, have had dry patches around corners of mouth, nose and on eyelid; recently have swollen eyelids. Fungus on toes treated w/ciclopirox for 9 mos(still there). Same for nail for 3 mos. Is there any connection betw fungus and eyelids. Facial dryness diagnosed as 'yeast infection.'

hello patient,
The Dry patches at corner of mouth should be because of fungal infection because of dry mouth / vitamin B12 deficiency commonly known as angular chelitis .
For fungal infection at toes/nailbeds you can also use antifungal creams/topical agents.
It doesn't sound any relation between swollen eyes & fungal infection.
Get your eyes checked up by opthalmologist & start topical antifungal agents.
