Fungal Infection

What is a Fungal Infection?

A fungal infection occurs when fungi, such as dermatophytes, yeasts, or molds, invade the skin, nails, or mucous membranes. Fungal infections can appear in various forms, including ringworm, athlete’s foot, jock itch, yeast infections, and nail fungus. These infections are often characterized by itching, redness, swelling, and flaky or scaly patches on the skin.

Fungal infections can be caused by poor hygiene, excessive moisture, warm environments, or weakened immune systems. They are typically more common in areas of the body that trap moisture, such as the feet, groin, and armpits.

How is it Treated?

Fungal infections are treatable with antifungal medications, which can be applied topically or taken orally, depending on the severity of the infection. Some common treatments include:

• Topical Antifungal Creams: For mild infections like athlete’s foot, ringworm, or jock itch.

• Oral Antifungal Medications: For more severe or widespread infections, such as nail fungus or systemic infections.

• Antifungal Shampoos: Used for scalp infections.

• Laser Therapy: For certain persistent fungal infections, particularly nail fungus.

It’s important to follow the full course of treatment to ensure the infection is completely eradicated.
