Fungal infections

Itchy, red, ring-shaped patches, or thickened, discolored nails that won't clear up on their own - fungal infections are stubborn, and the wrong treatment can waste months. We confirm exactly what you're dealing with before treating it, so you're not guessing with over-the-counter products that don't work.
Skin fungal infections (like ringworm, athlete's foot, jock itch, and fungal nail infections) occur when fungi overgrow on the skin, nails, or scalp, causing redness, itching, scaling, or nail thickening and discoloration.
Fungus thrives in warm, moist environments like sweaty shoes, locker rooms, and skin folds. Risk increases with heavy sweating, tight or damp clothing, shared surfaces (like gym mats or showers), and conditions like diabetes that affect skin and immune health.
Treatment includes topical or oral antifungal medications depending on the type and location, along with practical guidance on preventing reinfection. This is especially important for nail and recurrent skin infections, which can take longer to fully clear.
If a rash isn't improving with an OTC antifungal after two weeks, if it's spreading, or if nails are thickening, discoloring, or lifting, come in for an accurate diagnosis. Several skin conditions, including skin cancer, can mimic fungal infections and require completely different treatment.
