Fungal Infection Treatment: Fast Relief from Itching & Spreading

Fungal infections (like Ringworm, Athlete’s Foot, and Jock Itch) can be stubborn, uncomfortable, and highly recurring, especially in humid climates like Jamshedpur. At Dr. Kumar Skin & Laser Clinic, we offer targeted Fungal Infection Treatment using advanced diagnostic tools and dermatologist-approved care. Our goal is to quickly relieve itching and discomfort, eliminate the infection, and provide the essential guidance needed to prevent future flare-ups.

What Is a Fungal Infection?

Fungal infections are caused by the overgrowth of fungi on the skin, nails, or scalp—often worsened by hot, humid climates like Jamshedpur. Common types we treat include:

  • Ringworm: Red, circular patches on body
  • Athlete’s Foot: Itchy, cracked skin on feet
  • Jock Itch: Fungal rash in the groin area
  • Scalp Infection: Hair loss and scaling
  • Fungal Nail Infection: Thickened, discolored nails

Symptoms of Fungal Infections

Watch for these signs of a fungal infection:

  • Itching, burning, or stinging sensation
  • Red, flaky, or inflamed skin
  • Ring-like rashes or foul odor
  • Cracked or brittle nails
  • Hair loss or scaling on the scalp


Seek medical care before symptoms worsen or spread to others.

Causes & Risk Factors

Fungi thrive in warm, moist environments. You may be at higher risk if you:

  • Sweat excessively or wear tight clothing
  • Have diabetes or a weak immune system
  • Share towels, shoes, or personal items
  • Practice poor hygiene or stay in humid areas

Proper hygiene and early treatment are key to preventing recurrence.
