Fungal Infections: Causes, Symptoms, and Treatment at SkinWise Clinic
Fungal infections are one of the most common skin problems affecting people of all ages. At SkinWise Clinic by Dr. Khushboo in Bengaluru, we offer safe and effective diagnosis and treatment plans for all types of fungal infections, with a focus on quick relief and long-term skin health.
What is a Fungal Infection?
Fungal infections occur when fungi invade and grow on the skin, nails, or scalp. Warm, moist environments – such as sweaty clothing, humid weather, or poorly ventilated footwear – make it easier for fungi to grow.
Common Types of Fungal Infections
Tinea corporis (Ringworm) – Red, ring-shaped patches on the body
Tinea cruris (Jock itch) – Itchy rash in the groin and inner thighs
Tinea pedis (Athlete’s foot) – Peeling, itchy skin between toes
Tinea capitis – Scalp infection causing hair loss and itching
Tinea unguium (Nail fungus) – Discolored, thickened nails
Symptoms to Watch For
Red or scaly patches
Intense itching
Burning or discomfort
Peeling or cracking skin
Nail discoloration or thickening
If you notice any of these symptoms, don’t wait — early treatment prevents spread and complications.
