What are fungal skin infections?
Fungal skin infections are common conditions caused by fungi growing on the skin. They often affect warm, moist areas of the body and can include conditions such as athlete’s foot, ringworm, jock itch, and fungal rashes in skin folds.
These infections can cause irritation and discomfort but are usually straightforward to treat with the right antifungal treatment.
How long do fungal skin infections last?
Mild fungal skin infections may improve within a few days once treatment is started. Most infections clear within 1 to 4 weeks, depending on the type of infection and how consistently treatment is used.
If symptoms aren’t improving after a week of treatment, or they’re getting worse, it’s important to seek advice and review whether a different treatment is needed.
What causes fungal skin infections?
Fungal skin infections develop when fungi multiply on the skin. This is more likely in warm, damp conditions.
Common risk factors include sweating, wearing tight or non-breathable clothing, sharing towels or footwear, using communal showers, or having broken skin. Some people are more prone to fungal infections, especially those with diabetes, weakened immune systems, or recurring infections.
What are the symptoms of fungal skin infections?
Symptoms vary depending on the area affected but often include itchy, red, or flaky skin. Some infections cause a rash with a clear edge, cracked skin, peeling, or soreness. In certain areas, the skin may feel uncomfortable or irritated.
Treatment for fungal skin infections
Many fungal skin infections can be treated with antifungal creams, sprays, or tablets, depending on the severity and location of the infection.
Mild infections are often managed with topical antifungal treatments. More persistent or widespread infections may require prescription antifungal medicine, which is supplied following a clinical assessment.
How are fungal skin infections diagnosed?
Fungal skin infections are usually diagnosed based on how the skin looks and your symptoms. In some cases, a clinician may ask about previous infections or treatments.
