Product Details
Fungal skin infections are infections on the skin caused by a fungus. Certain types of fungus, or excessive growth of normally harmless types, cause the symptoms of a fungal skin infection. Most fungal skin infections can be treated effectively.
As most fungal skin infections are surface infections, you will usually need to use antifungal treatments that are applied directly to your skin in the infected area (topical treatments).
There are a variety of treatments available in the form of creams, lotions and medicated powders. If the rash covers quite a large area of your skin, or affects your nails or scalp, you may need to take some tablets.
Some treatments are available over-the-counter from a pharmacist, without a prescription. For example, sprays are available for treating athlete's foot. Ask your pharmacist for advice.
Stronger forms of topical treatments and antifungal medicines in tablet form are only available if you have a prescription from your GP. You may be prescribed antifungal shampoo if you have a scalp infection.
These treatments are usually effective. They can occasionally cause side-effects, which may include skin irritation or an upset stomach. It isn't unusual for your rash to return, even when it seems to have been treated. You may need to take some treatments for a few weeks, or up to 18 months for toenail infections
