develop large raised greyish-red bumpy patches over several areas

of the skin. Sometimes can be white and plaque like.

hypodermis.

penetrate the skin.-The fungus starts to grow

underneath the skin causing large growths and knots under the skin.

OTHER SIGNS OF DISEASE

CHROMOMYCOSIS

-To cure this infection people have used different kinds of anti-fungal

medication. Or even cryo-surgery for cases with large skin tumors. For

cases really bad, they will use antibiotics along with anti-fungal

medication.

CURE

The worst thing that could happen with this, is it could spread through the blood and lymph vessels creating metastatic lesions at different sites on the skin. Also, it could infect deeper layers of skin and even deeper organ tissues. Which would be terrible for

the victim.

WORST CASE SCENARIO

1. Since it is in fact a fungal infection you can use fungus cream to treat

some non-severe cases of it.2. The infection can last for years

even with treatment.3. You can freeze off some of the infection like you would to a wart.
