Fungal infections are more common than you think — and for many, they tend to come back again and again despite treatment. Whether it’s itching, redness, or irritation in the skin folds, these infections can be uncomfortable and persistent. At SK Truderma, Dr. Kavitha GV Mandal provides advanced dermatological solutions and practical prevention tips to help you stay infection-free.
Why Do Fungal Infections Recur?
Recurrent fungal infections often happen due to incomplete treatment, excess sweating, tight clothing, or humid weather. Sometimes, self-medication or using steroid creams can worsen the problem instead of curing it.
Simple Tips to Prevent Fungal Infections
Here are Dermatologist-Approved Tips from Dr. Kavitha to help you avoid recurrences:
- ✅ Keep your skin dry — especially in skin folds like underarms, groin, and between toes.
- ✅ Avoid sharing towels or clothes, as fungi can spread easily.
- ✅ Wear loose, breathable cotton clothing to reduce sweat accumulation.
- ✅ Use antifungal powder or soap if you sweat excessively.
- ✅ Complete your prescribed treatment course even if symptoms subside early.
- ✅ Avoid over-the-counter steroid creams — they may suppress infection temporarily but worsen it later.
- ✅ Maintain good hygiene and change undergarments daily.
