Fungal Infection Treatment Hospital in Himatnagar
Fungal skin infections such as ringworm (daad) are very common in hot, humid weather, causing itchy, red, ring-shaped patches – often in the groin, underarms, waist and between toes. In recent years they have become harder to treat, mainly due to misuse of steroid creams. At Pluto Hospital, Himatnagar, fungal infections are treated with the right antifungal medicines for the full course.
Understanding the Condition
Why Does It Keep Coming Back?
Fungi grow in warm, moist skin folds. Mixed creams containing steroids give quick relief but make the infection spread and resist treatment. Stopping treatment early, sharing towels and wearing tight synthetic clothes also bring it back.
Common Causes
- Sweating and hot, humid weather
- Tight or synthetic clothing
- Steroid or mixed creams
- Sharing towels and clothes
- Diabetes
- Stopping treatment early
