Pls provide history in detail for evaluation.
Just itching in eyes is not diagnostic of mucor.
Nasal blocking, black crusting, double vision, blurring, skin changes of face are some kye symptoms. Diabetes, immunocompromised pt, industrial o2 use, are main causing factors
Next Steps
NCCT PNS will tell you abt mucor.

Black fungus ( mucormycosis ) is common in diabetics , immunocompromised people who have received high doses of steroids.
Radiological investigations are required to diagnose it.
Kindly consult if further doubts.
