Fungal Skin Infections

Ringworm and other superficial fungal infections are common in our climate and often need a full, correct course of treatment.

Superficial fungal infections of the skin, hair and nails are very common in hot, humid conditions. Using steroid-containing creams without advice can make them harder to treat. A dermatologist can confirm the diagnosis and recommend an appropriate course of treatment for adults and children.

Common signs

  • Ring-shaped, itchy, scaly patches
  • Groin, waist, feet or scalp involvement
  • Recurrence after stopping treatment early
  • Nail thickening or discolouration

When to see a dermatologist

If symptoms persist, keep returning, affect your sleep or confidence, or you are unsure what you are dealing with, book a consultation.
