question: Hello, My mother has ALS, or lou Gherighs disease. The disease is advanced, however, the fingers on her left hand has curled into her palm, stiffened and she has lost complete use of it. In addition the hand and fingers are completely swollen and now I have noticed there is a foul odor on the hand. Could this be fungus in between the fingers from her hand being stagnant? Thank you, Tara
