Fungal skin infections can be uncomfortable and distressing, often causing symptoms such as itching, redness, irritation, and peeling. These infections occur when fungi invade the skin, usually in moist and warm areas such as the feet, groin, and armpits. At Chelsfield Pharmacy, we offer Daktacort as a comprehensive treatment solution for various types of fungal infections, ensuring fast relief and effective healing.
What are Fungal Skin Infections?
Fungal skin infections are caused by a variety of fungi, including yeast and dermatophytes, which thrive in warm, moist environments. Common fungal skin infections include:
Athlete’s Foot (Tinea Pedis): A fungal infection commonly affecting the feet, leading to itching, redness, and peeling.
Ringworm (Tinea Corporis): Circular, red, scaly patches that can appear on any part of the body.
Jock Itch (Tinea Cruris): Fungal infections of the groin area causing itching, redness, and a rash.
Yeast Infections (Candidiasis): Often caused by Candida fungi, this can occur in areas like the armpits or under the breasts, especially in individuals with compromised immune systems.
