Fungal infections, a.k.a.mycosis, are a group of infectionscaused by fungi. Fungal skin infections commonly appear in the form of athlete’s foot, jock itch, toenail fungus, ringworm, and others. Skin fungal infections are easily spread from person to person through direct touch, by touching contaminated clothes or items, and using public showers barefoot.
Fungal skin infections are easily treatable and cured with over-the-counter (OTC) anti-fungal creams that can be purchased from your neighbourhood Pearl Chemist Group pharmacy or from our online store.
Antifungal creams are an effective way to treat fungal infections. To learn more about uses, treatment, and prevention keep reading.
Prevention
There are steps you can take to prevent fungal infections, these include:
To prevent athlete’s foot and toenail fungus:
- Frequently change socks to keep feet dry
- Do not walk barefoot in swimming areas, gyms, or public showers.
- Keep toenails
- Don’t share footwear with others
- Apply antifungal powder to shoes daily
To prevent jock itch:
- Change underwear frequently if you are sweating excessively from exercise.
-Keep the groin area dry at all times, dry off well after a shower.
Treatment
Prevention is paramount when it comes to fungal skin infections. However, if you get one, your best recourse is to use a OTC fungal infection cream to alleviate uncomfortable itching from rashes, flaky skin, or pain in the toenail.
While creams for fungal infection due not prevent these skin ailments, they can be used to treat recurring skin issues. If OTC products are not working, your doctor may prescribe oral medications such as Itraconazole to cure stubborn fungal skin infections.
