Fungal Infections

Fungal infections can occur when various types of fungi—including yeasts and molds—grow excessively in or on the body. These infections are common, often contagious, and typically thrive in warm, moist environments.

Common Fungal Conditions

• Thrush (Candidiasis): A yeast infection commonly affecting the vagina or mouth (treated with Fluconazole).
• Skin Infections: Including athlete's foot, ringworm, and jock itch (managed with creams like Daktacort).
• Fungal Nail Infections: Persistent infections under the fingernails or toenails.
• Scalp Conditions: Such as seborrheic dermatitis (treated with Ketoconazole shampoo).

Clinical Treatment Options

• Oral Antifungals: Fluconazole (Diflucan) is a highly effective, often single-dose treatment for vaginal thrush.
• Topical Creams & Gels: Lotriderm and Daktacort combine an antifungal with a mild steroid to quickly stop itching and clear the infection.
• Medicated Shampoos: Target fungal growth on the scalp.

Hygiene and Prevention

• Keep affected areas clean and dry, using a fresh towel for each wash.
• Wear breathable, natural fabrics and avoid tight-fitting clothing.
• Wash towels and bedding at high temperatures to kill fungal spores.
• Complete the full course of treatment, even if the rash appears to have cleared.
