What is the treatment of the skin lesion caused by Cladosporium?

First, can Cladosporium be white in colour while grown on the petri disk? As I know, it is a black fungus. Then, what is the best treatment for chronic Cladosporium infection? How can one get this infection? Thank you.What is the treatment of the skin lesion caused by Cladosporium?
From what I have found:





When grown on a petri dish ';the color is olivaceous green to black from the front and black from the reverse.'; I see no mention of it ever being white in color.

These treatments are listed on http://www.dermatologyinfo.net/english/c鈥?/a>


';Surgical excision and grafting.


Intravenous Amphotericin B may have some effect .


Intralesional Amphotericin B.';





Finally, from here:

Chromoblastomycosis is a chronic localized infection of the skin and subcutaneous tissue that follows the traumatic implantation of the etiologic agent.





Hope that helps!
