A fungus that invades the tissue can cause a disease that's confined to the skin, spreads into tissue, bones and organs or affects the whole body.
Symptoms depend on the area affected, but can include skin rash or vaginal infection resulting in abnormal discharge.
Symptoms
The foot skin can experience an itching, stinging, or burning sensation between your toes or on other parts of your foot.
Your skin might also crack, peel, or blister. Fungal infections can be contagious. They can spread from one person to another.
Diagnosis
Our doctor may recognize the fungal infection by looking at the symptoms on your skin.
If the doctor isn’t sure, a small area of the skin can be scraped off and tested for the fungus.
Treatment
Your treatment options will depend on the type of the infection you have and whether or not you get the infections regularly.
There are several topical over-the-counter (OTC) antifungal medications that our specialists will be prescribing you that can be used to treat the infection.
