Fungal Infections: Causes, Treatment, and Prevention

              At Aastha Skin and Laser Clinic, we understand that fungal infections can be a common and often bothersome skin concern. Fungal infections, caused by various types of fungi, can affect the skin, nails, and mucous membranes. They manifest in different forms and can range from mild irritations to more severe conditions. Here, we provide comprehensive information about fungal infections, their causes, treatments, and prevention.

Types of Fungal Infections We Treat:

•  Tinea Infections: Commonly known as ringworm, tinea infections can affect the skin, nails, and scalp. Our experienced dermatologists can diagnose and treat various forms, including tinea corporis, tinea pedis (athlete's foot), tinea cruris (jock itch), and tinea capitis.

• Candidiasis: Candidiasis is caused by the Candida species of fungi and often affects areas with moisture, such as the mouth (oral thrush) and genital regions. Our clinic offers effective treatments for candidiasis, providing relief from discomfort and irritation.

• Tinea Versicolor: Tinea versicolor is a fungal infection that results in discolored, scaly patches on the skin. Our dermatologists can help you manage and treat this condition, restoring an even skin tone.

• Onychomycosis: Fungal nail infections can lead to unsightly, brittle, and thickened nails. Aastha Skin and Laser Clinic provides treatments for onychomycosis to restore the health and appearance of your nails.
