Fungal Infection

Fungal skin infections are common conditions caused by the overgrowth of fungi on the skin, scalp, nails, or body folds. These infections can appear as red, itchy, scaly, or ring-shaped rashes, and may spread without proper treatment.At Euphie, our doctors offer medical assessment and targeted treatment using topical or oral antifungal medication depending on the type and severity of infection. Early treatment helps clear symptoms and prevent recurrence.

About This Treatment

Fungal infections occur when fungi multiply on the skin, especially in warm, moist environments. They may affect people of all ages and are not usually serious but can be uncomfortable or persistent if left untreated.

Common types include:

  • Candidiasis – yeast overgrowth in skin folds

  • Tinea corporis (ringworm) – circular rashes on the body

  • Tinea pedis (athlete’s foot) – itchy, cracked skin between toes

  • Tinea cruris (jock itch) – rash in groin area

Our doctors will assess the affected area and recommend appropriate treatment, which may include antifungal creams, medicated washes, or oral antifungal tablets for more widespread cases.

Frequently Asked Questions

Are fungal infections contagious?

Yes, some can spread through direct skin contact or shared items like towels or footwear.

Mild cases may clear in 2–4 weeks with topical creams. More extensive infections may require oral medication over a longer course.

Yes. Fungal infections can recur, especially if the initial infection wasn’t fully treated or if the affected area remains warm and moist. Good hygiene, completing the full treatment course, and avoiding shared items like towels or shoes can help prevent reinfection.

Use only products recommended by your doctor during treatment to avoid worsening irritation.

Mild cases may respond to OTC creams, but persistent or recurring infections should be assessed by a doctor.
