Fungal infections are common, but they can cause significant discomfort and embarrassment if left untreated. Our dermatology experts provide comprehensive care to effectively treat fungal infections, restore your skin's health, and help you regain confidence.


What Are Fungal Infections?

Fungal infections occur when fungi, such as dermatophytes, yeasts, or molds, infect the skin, nails, or hair. These infections can be caused by poor hygiene, weakened immune systems, or exposure to contaminated surfaces or environments. Common types of fungal infections include:

  • Athlete’s Foot (Tinea Pedis): A fungal infection affecting the feet, often causing itching, redness, and peeling.
  • Ringworm (Tinea Corporis): Characterized by round, red, scaly patches on the skin.
  • Nail Fungus (Onychomycosis): Infection of the nails, which may cause discoloration, thickening, or brittleness.
  • Jock Itch (Tinea Cruris): A fungal infection of the groin area that causes itching, redness, and a rash.
  • Scalp Fungal Infections (Tinea Capitis): Fungal infections that affect the scalp, leading to hair loss, itching, and flaking.
  • Candidiasis: Caused by yeast (Candida), it can affect areas such as the mouth, groin, and underarms.

Treatment Options for Fungal Infections

1. Topical Antifungal Medications

  • Antifungal Creams, Ointments, and Powders: These are the most common treatment for localized fungal infections. Medications such as clotrimazole, terbinafine, and miconazole can effectively treat athlete’s foot, ringworm, and jock itch.
  • Antifungal Shampoos: For scalp infections like tinea capitis, medicated shampoos containing ketoconazole or selenium sulfide help reduce fungal growth and inflammation.

2. Oral Antifungal Medications

  • Oral Antifungals: For more severe or widespread infections, oral antifungals like terbinafine, itraconazole, or fluconazole may be prescribed. These medications work systemically to eliminate the fungal infection from within.
  • Oral Treatments: Oral treatments are especially effective for nail fungus and severe scalp infections.

3. Laser Therapy

  • Nail Laser Treatment: For stubborn nail fungal infections (onychomycosis), laser therapy can help target the fungus without harming surrounding tissue.
  • Laser Treatment for Scalp Infections: Laser therapy is also beneficial in treating scalp fungal infections by promoting healing and preventing hair loss.

4. Cosmetic and Supportive Treatments

  • Soothing Creams and Lotions: We offer soothing topical treatments to help alleviate itching, redness, and inflammation associated with fungal infections.
  • Skin Care Tips: Our specialists will provide you with advice on maintaining skin hygiene, keeping affected areas dry, and preventing recurrence.
