Fungal infections are common skin conditions caused by fungi that grow in warm, moist areas. They may appear as itchy, scaly, ring-shaped or discoloured patches and can affect the body, groin, feet, scalp or nails. At EPYX DERMA, Dr. Suhasini provides dermatologist-led diagnosis and treatment to clear the infection, reduce symptoms and prevent recurrence.
Many fungal infections look similar to eczema, psoriasis or bacterial rashes, so correct diagnosis is important. Dr. Suhasini evaluates the site, appearance, duration, previous creams, hygiene factors and whether family members are affected. Treatment may include topical or oral antifungal medicines, scalp or nail-specific care and clear hygiene guidance.

- Topical or oral medicines selected according to the diagnosis.
- Guidance to prevent spread among family members and close contacts.
- Special care for recurrent, extensive, scalp or nail infections.

accurate fungal diagnosis
The rash appearance, location, duration, previous medicines and possible exposure are assessed before treatment is recommended.
targeted antifungal treatment
Topical creams, medicated washes or oral antifungal medicines may be prescribed according to the site and severity.
spread & recurrence prevention
Clothing, sweating, shared towels, footwear, pets and household contacts may be reviewed to reduce reinfection.
complete treatment guidance
Completing the full prescribed course and attending follow-up are important even when itching or redness improves early.
Dermatologist-led fungal care for complete infection control
Our approach prioritizes correct diagnosis and complete treatment. Using mixed steroid creams without medical advice can hide symptoms, worsen fungal infection and increase recurrence.
