Cutaneous Coccidioidomycosis treatment in Morelia

The cutaneous lesion of coccidioidomycosis corresponds to the skin manifestations of an infection by a fungus present in soils of arid areas, which is acquired by breathing in its spores.

How does it present? On the skin it can give rise to nodules, ulcers or eruptions, which sometimes appear together with respiratory symptoms or general malaise.

When is it worth reviewing? Skin lesions that do not improve, especially in people who live in or have traveled to dry regions, warrant evaluation.

Which specialist treats it? The dermatologist is the one who examines this type of lesion and guides its workup. Faced with a persistent lesion of unclear cause, the most advisable thing is for a professional to review it carefully.
