Skin fungus, or fungal infections, commonly affects the skin, leading to conditions like athlete's foot, ringworm, and candidiasis. Effective treatment involves antifungal medications, which can be topical (creams or ointments) or systemic (oral pills), depending on the severity and location of the infection. Maintaining good hygiene is crucial; keep affected areas clean and dry, and avoid tight clothing that traps moisture. Additionally, incorporating natural remedies like tea tree oil or apple cider vinegar may provide relief due to their antifungal properties. Preventative measures include wearing breathable fabrics, using antifungal powder in sweaty areas, and avoiding shared personal items. For persistent or severe cases, consulting a dermatologist is essential for proper diagnosis and treatment.
