Overview of Fungus

Fungi typically grow as yeasts, moulds, or a combination of both. Fungi occur through tiny spores. These spores can be present in soil or the atmosphere. Fungi live on your skin and digestive system. However, certain types of fungi can cause severe skin infections.

Things you should know about a Fungal Infection

You should never take fungal infections lightly. If you notice itchy rashes on your skin, consult with us at the earliest. The fungal infections in your skin can appear as swollen, red, or itchy. They can look like a rash, or you might be able to see a lump under the skin.

Your nails can also become affected by fungal infections. Fungi can make nails discoloured. If you are noticing these signs, consult with us. At Skinisma, we offer highly customised treatment procedures to our patients.

We have Expertise in Treating all Types of Fungal Infections

Being the leading skincare clinic in Delhi, Skinisma has expertise in treating all types of fungal infections. Fungi reproduce by releasing spores. You can pick up these spores by direct contact. Here are some of the common fungal infections for which we offer treatment.

Athlete’s Foot

The athlete’s Foot is also known as Tinea Pedis. It is a type of fungal infection that occurs between your toes. It can also affect your nails and hands. Dr Sweety Darall Tomar will prescribe fungal medications to treat athlete’s feet and also advice precautions to be taken.

Ringworm

Ringworm is a fungal infection that affects your skin and the scalp. Fungal infection on the scalp can result in hair loss and other types of discomfort. Over time, these patches of ringworm can spread and produce rings. We will diagnose this condition with a thorough skin test.

Dr Tomar can treat fungal infections with antifungal creams, sprays, gels, etc. For more details, seek an appointment with us.

Toenail Fungus

Onychomycosis is a common type of fungal infection that affects your toenails. It can also affect your nail beds. Mobility becomes an issue when you are suffering from this condition. This fungal infection spreads quickly when left untreated. In most cases, we prescribe antifungal medications.

Who is at Risk of Developing a Fungal Rash?

Anyone can develop a fungal infection. Infection in the skin or nails can become severe if left untreated. For instance, ringworm affects healthy individuals. Here are some individuals who may be at a higher risk of developing fungal infections.

✔  You are consuming antibiotics for longer durations

✔  You are obese

✔  You have a weakened immune system

✔  You have diabetes

✔  You sweat heavily

A fungal infection can spread quickly if you don’t seek specialised care. At Skinisma, Dr Sweety Darall Tomar has vast experience in treating fungal skin and hair infections. Get holistic treatment for fungal infections exclusively at our clinic.

Get Specialised Treatment for Scalp Ringworm

Scalp ringworm can drastically contribute to hair loss. Ringworm of the scalp creates itchy, bald, and scaly patches on your head.

Note that this type of fungal infection can result in low self-esteem and confidence. In most cases, we rely on oral medications to treat this illness. Dr Tomar may also prescribe certain types of shampoos to kill the fungus. The symptoms of ringworm of the scalp are as follows:

✔  Presence of one or more scaly and inflamed patches on the scalp with minimal hair growth

✔  Patches that are growing gradually and have small, black dots

✔  Painful or tender areas on the scalp

✔  Fragile or brittle hair

Use of Laser Treatment for Fungal Infections

At Skinisma, we rely on advanced laser devices to help you control the symptoms of fungal infections. Note that we use laser rays only on the visible areas of your body. For instance, we use laser therapy for treating toenail fungus.

We use the latest non-ablative laser devices that destroy fungi completely. We use the localised temperature to eliminate fungi colonies from your skin safely. When the laser is targeted to the area of infection, the heat inhibits the growth of the fungus.

However, it is unlikely that you will see positive results with a single session of laser therapy. Dr Sweety Darall Tomar will thoroughly assess your skin during the initial consultation. Based on the findings, we will prescribe the right laser therapy frequency.
