Fungal infections like ringworm are prevalent in our country due to the hot, humid climate. Many non-specialists prescribe incorrect medications, such as steroid-containing creams, which can worsen the infection and harm the skin.

Always consult a qualified dermatologist for fungal infections, even seemingly minor ones. We provide effective medical treatments tailored to ensure full recovery.

Tips to follow during treatment:

• Wear loose, cotton clothing to allow skin to breathe; avoid synthetic materials and tight clothes.
• Minimize sweating and stay in a cool, dry environment.
• Avoid sharing clothes, towels, or bedsheets to prevent spread.
• Ensure family members with infections also seek treatment.
• Finish your entire medication course, even if symptoms improve.
• If you have diabetes, get it corrected as fungus can take longer to clear.
