Experiencing Fungal Infection on My Back, Body, and Hand?

Fungal infection back body and hand

1 Answer

Answered on 1st Mar '25

Fungal infections on the back or hands often cause redness, itching, and flaking skin. These can occur due to moisture, warmth, or skin-to-skin contact. It's crucial to keep the affected area dry and clean. Over-the-counter antifungal creams can be effective, but persistent symptoms may require a prescription. Avoid tight clothing and share personal items to reduce spread. If your condition doesn’t improve within a few weeks or worsens, please consult a dermatologist. They can provide a diagnosis and tailored treatment to ensure a full recovery.

I am 8 year old and have some kind of pimples on my elbow. First it was only on one hand but now it is increasing on the other hand also.

You may have a skin disease known as eczema. Eczema is a skin condition that develops itchy red lumps on the affected area. This case is common in children of your age. The reasons could be the problems of dry skin and allergic reactions. Use moisturizing lotion to keep your skin soft and stop it from itching. Sometimes the physician might prescribe a specific cream to help you with the itch.

Fungal infection not cure for long time after taking medicine, frequently occurr on skin on butt side

Female | 32

Fungal infections can make your skin red, itch, and sometimes hurt. These infections usually like to grow in warm and moist places, so butt skin can be the common spot. To help mop it up, keep the area clean and dry, wear loose clothes, and apply antifungal creams or powders that the pharmacist recommends. To get it if it still comes back, you may need a stronger prescription from the doctor to get rid of it.

Actually i got a little scratch by a street dog’s nail but it’s not deep also so pls recommend me what should i do.. i can also share the pic of it for better suggestion

Female | 17

I can see that scratching you due to a street dog can be a worrying issue for you. From your information, the scratch is not too deep, which may mean there is a low chance of infection. Watch out for any redness, swelling, or warmth around the area. First of all, wash the scratch using soap and water and then apply the antiseptic cream to the area to avoid any further infection. Watch the scratch for a few days, and if you spot any of the infection signs that are getting worse, like more pain, redness, or pus formation, it is better to go to a doctor.
