What Kills Fungus On Skin Naturally

We’ve all experienced a fungal skin infection at some point in our lives. This is because fungal skin infections are highly contagious and spread easily from one person to another. Athlete’s foot, jock itch, ringworm, diaper rash, and oral thrush are some of the most common types of fungal skin infections.

Athlete’s foot, in particular, is very common since it’s easily spread in public areas such as swimming pools and locker rooms. Athlete’s foot affects the skin on the feet, causing the skin to crack, peel, itch, and burn. The good news is that antifungal cream medications and natural home remedies will help get rid of athlete’s foot fast!

TREATMENT

Natural Remedies

Although you can easily find over-the-counter medicines and antifungal ointments on the market, fungal infections can be cured with home remedies as well. And the ingredients are probably in your kitchen cupboard already.

The following ingredients can be used to treat fungal skin infections, simply apply to the infected area.

·Raw Honey

·Tea Tree Oil

·Coconut Oil

·Turmeric Paste

·Fresh Garlic Paste

·Crushed Neem Leaves

Eating plain unsweetened yoghurt or drinking apple cider yoghurt can also be an effective treatment for skin fungus.

Over-The-Counter Medication

Over-the-counter (OTC) topical skin products that contain clotrimazole, miconazole, tolnaftate, or terbinafine are the most effective for treating athlete’s foot. Always make sure to complete the full course of medicine. If you stop using the medication for the prescribed duration, your athlete’s foot may return and be more difficult to treat.

The following creams are the best for treating athletes' foot:

Daktarin Crm Dual Action/Aktiv 30G athlete’s foot cream containsMiconazole Nitrate which destroys both fungal and bacterial skin infections. Athlete’s foot is typically caused by fungi, but sometimes bacterial infections can also develop at the same time.

Lamisil At Cream 7.5GM is a topical treatment used for both athlete's foot and jock itch for quick relief of cracking, itching, and burning skin conditions.
