Brief Answer:
Get done biopsy of the skin lesion and PFT.

Detailed Answer:
Thanks for your question on HCM.
I can understand your situation and problem.
You have taken correct medicines for skin lesion.
Since you are still having the skin lesion, after all oral drugs and topical cream, better to get done biopsy of the lesion and histopathological examination of skin tissue.
This will diagnose your lesion.
For your wheezing and cough in night, better to get done PFT(Pulmonary Function Test) to rule out bronchitis.
Post infectious bronchitis is common after viral upper respiratory tract infection (flu).
So better to get done PFT.
You may need inhaled bronchodilators for this.
Hope I have solved your query.
I will be happy to help you further.
Wish you good health.
Thanks.
