Suggest Remedy For Candida And HPV Infections On Skin

I am 37 year old African-American woman. I have developed an area under my chin and on my chest that is bumpy and doesn t clear up. I ve had this condition since I got ill over 7 years ago. The illness is gone, but this is something I ve been left with. A dermatologist diagnosed it as candida on the chin and inside my nostrils. I have taken the medication, which made the lesions smaller but but it never clears and its itchy at times. I believe I also have warts on my hands caused by HPV.

Welcome to HCM,

Your history and the clinical symptoms are suggestive of fungal infection over the face and chin along with Wart or Condyloma Acuminata over your hands.

Wart which is painless and itching are the classical of Wart which is caused by Human Papillomavirus (HPV).

Human Papillomavirus (HPV) infection can be transmitted to the partner as this is a sexually transmitted disease.

This should be diagnosed by physical examination and confirmed by Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR).

The treatment for this condition includes

Cryotherapy- which should be done in the hospital.
or
Local application of 0.5% solution of podophyllin, which should be applied twice daily for 3 days and nothing should be applied for next 4 days (7 days cycle). This cycle should be continued for 4 weeks.
or
Local application of 5% Imiquimod cream for 3 times in a week for 16 weeks (4 months).

For fungal infection you can use topical clotrimazole cream over the lesion. If it is not improving you need to undergo lab investigations like KOH mount.
Thank you
