Free Advice: Fungal InfectionsHow Can I treat Fungal Infections? (Athletes foot, Diaper rash, Ring worm)A fungal infection is usually caused by yeast (Candida) or a dermatophyte. These organisms cause the majority of infections commonly known as jock itch, ring worm, diaper rash, athlete¸s foot, and toe nail fungus. Other names for a fungal infection include onychomycosis, tinea cruris (groin), tinea capitus (scalp), tinea corporis (body), tinea pedis (feet), and intertrigo (under breast and in the groin). These can present as small pink to red scaling patches measuring several inches in diameter to covering large areas on any part of the body. They also can be associated with pustules (raised red/white bumps) and itching. Treatment Fungus: A nail fungus can be difficult to treat particularly if the nail is significantly involved. If the nails are involved at the distal portion (tip of the nail) topical anti-fungals can be used. Lotrimin and Lamisil are two of the newer topical anti-fungals available over the counter to treat Candida, yeast or dermatophyte infections and are most effective in skin infections not involving the scalp or nails. Lamisil is more effective of the two topical antifungals. Treatment is usually twice a day for one week and twice a day for Lotrimin for two weeks for skin infections. Thoroughly read the package inserts before using these two medications. Keeping moist areas (between the toes, under the breasts) dry with Zeasorb Powder can also be helpful. See your Dermatologist if a suspected fungal infection does not improve. Other topical or oral anti-fungals may be needed. Also other skin diseases may mimic a fungal infection including psoriasis, lichen planus, secondary syphilis and pityriasis rosea to name a few. All products should be used as directed on the product container. Any product that causes irritation should be discontinued.
