Fungal Guide: Learn About Fungal Infections and Treatment

This site is designed to help you make intelligent choices about treating one of the most persistent, and widespread skin conditions; fungal infections. Fungal infections include: athletes foot (Tinea pedis), jock itch, ringworm (Tinea corporis), nail infections and scalp infections. We also explore conditions caused by candidiasis including oral intertrigo , vulvovaginitis , diaper rashes , paronychia and chronic mucocutaneous candidiasis.

Anybody can get a fungal infection and today's active lifestyles can make it easier to become exposed. Fortunately there are several effective treatment regimens available although, depending on the condition, getting rid of an infection can take several weeks, not the several days that many rely on.

If you have a persistent itch or rawness see your Doctor - there is no need to suffer.
