Fungal Infections

Fungal infections, such as athlete's foot, ringworm, and jock itch, are common skin conditions caused by fungi that thrive in warm, moist environments. Symptoms of fungal infections include redness, itching, and scaling of the skin, which can affect various areas of the body, including the feet, nails, and scalp. At SKN Dermatology we can diagnose a number of fungal skin infections. Fungal infection treatment involves antifungal creams, oral medications, or medicated shampoos, depending on the severity and location of the infection. Preventing fungal infections includes good hygiene practices and keeping the skin dry.
