It is sore and the doctor said it is from irritation,e.g by spices etc. I had it once before about 24 years ago.The antifungal, Dactarin Oral gel didn't work then and isnt working now to get rid of it. Back then it went away because the Dr carefully trimmed it back with fine scissors. How does it go away without that, as my Dr doesn't want to have to do that, saying it could bleed. Would raw garlic help perhaps if I used it each day.
