Skin fungal problem

2017-03-06 16:49:05
Last week some dark area appeared on my hands. The skin showed some small cuts and dark in colour. Someone told me that it's a fungal problem. Please help me out. Is it some kind of infection ? This is the first time I am facing this problem.

This is limited information and tells nothing about your skin condition which can help in planning a treatment. A thorough history, clinical examination and appropriate laboratory tests will be needed to solve the mystery. Consider seeing a Dermatologist for proper diagnosis and treatment plan
