SunSmart Fungal Infections - Give Fungal Infections the All Clear One of the main reasons people find tinea infections don't clear up is because they don't use their medicines long enough. "Most tinea infections need treatment for one to two weeks or sometimes more, but they should also be treated for a minimum of one week after the infection has cleared," recommend Self Care pharmacists. Many people know they are suffering from a yeast infection, jock itch or athletes foot, but never really realised that these are all different types of fungal infections. Most fungal infections are commonly called tinea. You can get tinea infections on your body (for example ringworm, jock itch), or on your feet, nails or scalp. Another tinea infection, called pityriasis versicolor, affects the skin on the trunk of the body, especially the back. It can also spread to the neck, arms or stomach. When people tan in summer the affected parts remain as whitish patches on their body and they may often wonder what this is. There are also other fungal infections like oral thrush (in the mouth) or nappy rash.

Free Podiatry Website ABOUT US Healthcommunities.com Pressroom Testimonials Overview Athlete's foot (tinea pedis) is a common, persistent infection of the foot caused by a dermatophyte, a microscopic fungus that lives on dead tissue of the hair, toenails, and outer skin layers. These fungi thrive in warm, moist environments such as shoes, stockings, and the floors of public showers, locker rooms, and swimming pools. Athlete's foot is transmitted through contact with a cut or abrasion on the plantar surface (bottom) of the foot. In rare cases, the fungus is transmitted from infected animals to humans. Dermatophyte (skin) infections cause raised, circular pimples or blisters that resemble the lesions caused by ringworm. The infections are named after the part of the body they infect. Tinea pedis, therefore, refers to an infection of the feet.

HEART CANCER WOMEN CHILDREN ... LOOK IT UP Tinea: Ringworm, Jock Itch, and Athlete's Foot Ringworm Tinea capis is usually called ringworm, according to the American Academy of Family Physicians (AAFP). Like most tinea infections, as it grows it spreads out in a circle leaving normal looking skin in between. That makes it look like a ring. At the edge, the skin will be red, raised and scaly. Some people think it looks like a worm under the skin and that's where the name "ringworm" comes from. There is no worm under the skin, though. Instead it is a fungus growing on the skin. If it's in the scalp, the hair can be destroyed, leaving bald patches. Jock Itch Tinea cruris is commonly referred to as jock itch according to AAFP. The fungus grows in the warm, moist area around the groin. It generally occurs in men and particularly in athletes because of the sweating they do. Athlete's Foot Tinea pedis is the term for athlete's foot. Once again it's a fungal infection, this time of the feet. It usually shows up as redness and scaling between the toes. The fungus grows in the warm moist atmosphere when feet aren't dried off or when they get very sweaty. You can pick up the fungus in the locker room but it's harder than you think and you can avoid it by drying your feet well. The fungus can also infect the toenails. Treatments Most tinea infections can be treated with a topical cream. Sometimes however oral medications will be needed. Treatment can last for months to fully get rid of the infection. No one is sure why people get tinea versicolor; however with other tinea infections, the best defense is a good offense.

Microscopy is positive if hyphae are identified in fungal infections and if pseudohyphae or yeast forms are seen in Candida or Pityrosporum infections. A positive examination is sufficient to warrant starting treatment. Cultures are not routinely performed in suspected tinea infections. However, cultures should be obtained when long-term oral drug therapy is being considered, the patient has a recalcitrant infection, or the diagnosis is in doubt.
