Ever noticed white patches, red rashes, or itchy skin on your face, neck, or body folds? That could be a fungal infection. Fungi love warm, moist areas of the skin—but don’t worry, fungal infections can be prevented and treated if you know how and use the right products!
Common Types of Fungal Skin Infections
- Athlete’s Foot (Tinea Pedis)
Itchy, cracked skin (sometimes with an odor), typically found between the toes. Common if your feet are sweaty and stuck in shoes all day. - Jock Itch (Tinea Cruris)
Itchy red rash in the groin or inner thighs, especially during hot weather or heavy sweating. - Ringworm (Tinea Corporis)
Red, ring-shaped patches on the skin. It can spread through skin contact or contaminated personal items. - Cutaneous Candidiasis
Caused by Candida yeast, this condition often affects moist body folds, such as the underarms, under the breasts, or the groin. - Nail Fungus (Onychomycosis)
Thickened, yellow, or brittle nails—usually toenails, due to tight, damp conditions in shoes.
How to Keep Fungus Off Your Skin
- Always dry off thoroughly after bathing, especially between toes and in skin folds
- Never go barefoot in public places like locker rooms or pools
- Change socks and shoes regularly, especially if you sweat a lot
- Wear loose, breathable clothing that absorbs sweat
- Don’t share personal items like towels, combs, or hats
- Keep your blood sugar stable if you have diabetes
