Infectious Diseases Specialist,  's  Response
Hello,
Thank you for contacting to healthcare magic.
I read and understand your concern.
I am Dr Arun Tank answering your concern.

No, It can be candida it can be other infection.

I advice you to do Gram staining from the wound. If the Grams staining report is stating that it is Gram's Positive yeast infection than you have to take the treatment of fungus.

you also have to check for the common condition causing the fungus infection which is diabetes and HIV. This are the common condition in which the fungus infection can occur. If you have any of the above symptoms than treating the above infection can cure you.

Please maintain good hygiene as it is equally important as taking the antibiotics. Please practice good hand washing practice untill you are completely cured.

You can ask for your further query here or you can ask me personally on bit.ly/DrArun.

Thank you,
Dr Arun Tank
