About fungal infection of the skin
Fungal skin infections are caused by moulds called dermatophytes or by yeasts such as Candida. They include ringworm of the body (tinea corporis), groin (jock itch), feet (athlete’s foot), scalp and nails. Ring-shaped, red, scaly, itchy patches with a clearer centre are typical. They thrive in warm, damp skin folds, spread through contact and shared towels or clothes, and are more common in people who sweat a lot, who have diabetes, or who wear tight, synthetic clothing. Using strong steroid creams without medical advice can make a fungal infection spread and look unusual, which is a common problem. Treatment is with antifungal creams and sometimes tablets for extensive or stubborn infections, and it is important to complete the course. Keep the skin dry, wear loose cotton clothes, wash and dry towels and clothing, and do not share personal items. See a doctor if the infection is widespread, recurs, involves the scalp or nails, or if you have diabetes.
