hello,
thanks a lot for your query on HCM,
dont be worried..
it all depends on the severity and size of the infection...
if it is mild and superficial, topical application will suffice..
if it is deep in, then oral therapy is also needed...
there is no harm in taking oral medicines also..
it will speed up the recovery process...
better do visit a physician and give topical with oral therapy..
things will go on fine in due course...
