Know the itch: How to recognise and prevent fungal infections | The Times of India

With fungal infections becoming hard-to-treat, appropriate and timely treatment solutions are necessary. Commenting on this Dr. Alka Gupta, Dermatologist, Dr. Alka Gupta Clinic, Delhi said, “With India’s warm and humid climate, fungal infections are becoming increasingly common in the country. As people try to address these infections, there has been an increase in self-medication, and non-adherence to anti-fungal medication. It’s important that people see their doctor for timely medication and information on lifestyle measures which are key to tackling fungal infections properly.”

Don’t rely only on home remedies and self-medication. If you have an itchy fungal infection, consult a doctor first.
