Overview

Fungal Infections

Fungal infections of the skin, hair, and nails are a common occurrence. While often harmless, the itching, redness, and discomfort they cause can be disruptive to your daily life. At Dr. Rai’s Skin Clinic, we understand the need for prompt and effective treatment. We offer comprehensive diagnosis and treatment options to address various fungal infections and restore your skin’s health.

Understanding Fungal Infections:

Fungi are microscopic organisms that thrive in warm, moist environments. They can spread through direct contact with infected skin, contaminated objects, or even from pets. Common fungal infections include:

Athlete’s Foot (Tinea Pedis): This itchy, red, and scaly rash typically affects the spaces between the toes.
Jock Itch (Tinea Cruris): This itchy rash with a raised border appears in the groin and inner thigh area.
Ringworm (Tinea Corporis): This circular, red, itchy patch with a clear center can appear anywhere on the body.
Scalp Ringworm (Tinea Capitis): This causes itchy, scaly patches on the scalp, sometimes leading to hair loss.
Onychomycosis (Nail Fungus): This affects the toenails more commonly than fingernails, causing discoloration, thickening, and brittleness.

Diagnosis of Fungal Infections at Dr. Rai’s Skin Clinic:

Dr. Rai will conduct a thorough evaluation to diagnose your fungal infection. This may include:

Visual examination: Dr. Rai will examine the affected area to assess the location, pattern, and severity of the rash or nail changes.
KOH examination: A small skin scraping is examined under a microscope to identify fungal hyphae (threads).
Fungal culture: In some cases, a sample of skin or nail may be sent to a lab for culture to identify the specific type of fungus.

Treatment Options for Fungal Infections:

Treatment options depend on the type and severity of the infection. Here’s what we offer:

Antifungal Creams, Lotions, or Powders: These topical medications are typically the first line of defense for mild to moderate fungal infections.
Antifungal Tablets: For stubborn infections or widespread involvement, oral medications may be prescribed.
Nail Lacquer: For toenail fungus, a medicated nail lacquer may be applied topically over a period of months.

Preventing Fungal Infections:

Practice good hygiene: Wash and dry your skin thoroughly, especially after sweating or exercise.
Keep your feet dry: Change shoes and socks regularly, and wear breathable footwear.
Don’t share personal items: Avoid sharing towels, shoes, or clothes with others.
Wear flip-flops in public showers: Minimize the risk of contact with fungus in damp environments.

  I had consulted Dr.Abhijna Rai at Dr Rai's skin and hair clinic. Dr.Rai is very professional, calm and must say, has lots of patience. She listens intently about the issue and situation. The treatment worked and there is drastic improvement in my skin issues. Compared to previous doctors, she did not put me through  multiple  treatments and seems to genuinely care for the patients.
The clinic also has ample parking space in the basement which is very convenient.
Thank you doctor and I would strongly recommend you to all my friends and family for any skin & hair related issues.
