Read MoreWith an ability to affect a variety of areas on the body, fungal infection can be a particularly difficult ailment to self-treat. While often mild, fungal infections can become uncomfortable and persistent without proper care. At InMotion Health, we provide prompt, personalized treatment through in-home or virtual visits, so you can start feeling better without the inconvenience of a clinic appointment.
What Are Fungal Infections?
Fungal infections are common skin, nail, and mucosal conditions caused by an overgrowth of fungi like yeasts or dermatophytes. These infections can affect various parts of the body, including the feet (athlete’s foot), groin (jock itch), scalp, nails, and even the mouth or genitals (as with candidiasis). They often thrive in warm, moist environments and are especially common in active individuals, those with weakened immune systems, or anyone exposed to shared surfaces like gym floors or locker rooms.
How Are Fungal Infections Treated?
Treatment for fungal infections at InMotion Health begins with either an in-home or virtual consultation with one of our licensed medical providers. During the visit, we assess the location and appearance of the affected area and review your symptoms and health history.
Based on your diagnosis, your treatment plan may include topical antifungal creams or powders, oral antifungal medications for more widespread or persistent infections, and prescription-strength solutions for nail or scalp conditions. We also provide personalized guidance on hygiene practices and environmental factors that may be contributing to your infection. Our primary goal is to treat the infection thoroughly and minimize the chance of recurrence.
Symptoms of Fungal Infections
Fungal infections can present in many ways depending on the type and location, but common symptoms include:
- Itching
- Redness
- Scaling
- Cracking
- Peeling skin
- Burning
- Stinging
- Discomfort
- Discolored or thickened nails
- White patches in the mouth
- Vaginal irritation, itching and thick white discharge
What Causes Fungal Infections?
Fungal organisms are naturally present on the body or in the environment but can overgrow due to certain risk factors, including:
- Excessive sweating or poor ventilation
- Wearing damp clothing or shoes
- Compromised immune system
- Antibiotic use or hormonal changes
- Sharing personal items like towels or razors
Why Is Fungal Infection Treatment Important?
Although fungal infections are often seen as minor, they can become chronic, spread to other parts of the body, or lead to secondary bacterial infections if left untreated. Timely treatment helps alleviate uncomfortable symptoms, prevents the infection from spreading to others or recurring, and protects your skin and nails from long-term damage. Early intervention is particularly important for individuals with compromised immune systems, as they are more vulnerable to complications.
How Should I Support My Recovery From Fungal Infections?
Supporting your recovery from a fungal infection requires a combination of good hygiene and consistent use of prescribed treatments. You should continue using any prescribed medications even after symptoms improve to ensure the infection is fully cleared. Changing socks, undergarments, or workout clothes regularly can also help prevent reinfection.
