Posted by Abhinav Ayu on November 10th, 2018

Deal with skin infection by using a natural antifungal cream and following a hygienic lifestyle. Skin infections such as fungal infections can be unpleasant to look at and can be an uncomfortable experience too. Unhygienic habits or uncomfortable clothing are some of the causes of fungal infections. Sharing clothes with an infected person can also lead to the spread of the infection to another person.

Here are some tips to prevent and take care of yourself during fungal infections.

Tip-1

Wash your clothes and undergarments daily

Lack of basic hygiene can be a potential cause of fungal infections. Washing your clothes and undergarments on a daily basis will keep infection-causing microorganisms off your clothes. Change your undergarments daily. If you wear socks everyday then wash them and wear fresh socks daily. Continuous to use unwashed garments can lead to infections again and again.

Tip-2

Avoid wearing tight clothes, jeans, and shoes

The fungus may grow in areas that hold sweat for a long time. Wear breathable clothes. It will keep you comfortable and won’t irritate you. If you sweat a lot, switch to fresh clothes after a shower.

Tip-3

Take daily baths

You may take a shower in the morning but if you sweat a lot then take a shower after coming back from work. Taking a shower after a sports activity, exercise, gym session or long travel that leads to excessive sweating can also keep infections at bay.

Tip-4

Keep your nails short

Nail infection commonly occurs on the feet that are damp most of the time.  If you have skin infections in the nails then maintain trimmed nails.Cleanliness and care will prevent pain and swelling in the skin area around the infected nail.

Tip-5

Keep yourself dry

Wetness can lead to fungal infections easily. Keep commonly affected skin areas such as underarms, feet, etc. clean and dry to avoid fungal infections.However, you can moisturise the affected area with an antifungal cream for skin infection as prescribed.

Tip-6

Antifungal cream(FungOn) helps in the prevention of infections

A natural antifungal cream such as FungOn helps to inhibit the growth of microorganisms during common infections. It is also an effective antifungal cream for ringworm cases. The cream also repairs the skin by acting as an anti-oxidant. Additionally, a cream-based ayurvedic treatment can be used conveniently to soothe and moisturise the affected skin area with the help of its antifungal and anti-microbial characteristics.

Tip-7

Use a natural cream instead of STEROID-containing creams

It is better to utilise a natural antifungal cream because most antifungal creams contain steroids that lend temporary relief. Natural creams such as FungOn are created using natural ingredients such as Neem, Aloe Vera, ShuddhaGandhak and Jasminumgrandifolium. These natural ingredients prevent itching and rashes along with providing relief to bring back your natural healthy skin. Steroids, on the other hand, can provide relief temporarily but can aggravate the infection later.
