Fungal infections are common skin conditions that can affect various areas of the body, including the skin, nails, scalp, and mucous membranes. These infections occur when fungi invade the skin or nails, often thriving in warm, moist environments. At Skin Rituals Aesthetic Clinic, we provide effective treatments for fungal infections, helping you restore your skin and prevent the spread of the infection. With personalized care, we target the root cause of the infection to promote healthy, clear skin.
What Causes Fungal Infections?
Fungal infections are caused by different types of fungi, including yeasts and molds, which can invade the skin, nails, or mucous membranes. These fungi can be spread through direct contact with an infected person or contaminated surfaces. Fungal infections often thrive in warm, damp environments, making areas like the feet, groin, and underarms more susceptible. People with weakened immune systems, diabetes, or poor hygiene are more prone to fungal infections.
Treatment Options for Fungal Infections:
1) Topical Antifungal Medications:
Creams, ointments, and sprays containing antifungal agents like clotrimazole, miconazole, or terbinafine are applied directly to the affected area. These medications help eliminate the fungus and reduce symptoms like itching and redness.
2) Oral Antifungal Medications:
For more severe or widespread infections, oral antifungal medications like fluconazole, terbinafine, or itraconazole may be prescribed. These medications work from within to clear the infection and prevent it from spreading.
3) Antifungal Shampoos:
For fungal infections affecting the scalp, antifungal shampoos containing ketoconazole or selenium sulfide are used to reduce fungal growth and relieve symptoms like itching and flaking.
4) Nail Fungus Treatments:
Nail fungal infections often require a combination of oral and topical antifungal medications. In some cases, laser therapy may be used to penetrate the nail and target the fungus directly.
5) Lifestyle and Hygiene Recommendations:
Our holistic approach includes advice on lifestyle changes to prevent the recurrence of fungal infections. This includes keeping the skin clean and dry, wearing breathable clothing, and avoiding sharing personal items like towels and shoes.
