Candida infection
I have been visiting the doctors because I had an infection on my foot. It was first diagnosed as bacterial, and I was prescribed antibiotics, then viral and I was given different treatment. It turned out to be fungal (based on swab) and I believe it has spread to my hands. The doctors believe that my hands are a different issue to my foot but it is exactly the same in appearance and feeling as to how my foot started. I would like to know if it is a possibility that this could be related.
