Fungal Infections

At Cleo Clinical Care, we provide advanced diagnosis and treatment for a wide range of fungal skin infections, ensuring quick relief and long-term skin protection. Fungal infections occur when certain types of fungi grow excessively on the skin, often thriving in warm, moist environments. If left untreated, they can cause discoloration, itching, discomfort, and even skin damage.

What Are Fungal Skin Infections?

Fungal infections are caused by organisms like dermatophytes, yeasts, and molds, which invade the skin, nails, or scalp. These infections are typically contagious and can spread through direct skin contact or shared personal items.

Common symptoms include:

  • Itchy or scaly skin patches
  • Discoloration or loss of pigmentation
  • Redness or cracked skin
  • Burning or stinging sensations

Common Types of Fungal Infections We Treat

1. Tinea (Ringworm)

A highly contagious infection that appears as red, circular patches with raised edges, commonly affecting the body, scalp, feet (athlete’s foot), or groin (jock itch).

2. Candidiasis (Yeast Infection)

Caused by an overgrowth of Candida, this type of infection usually affects moist areas like the underarms, under the breasts, or genital area, resulting in red, sore, and itchy skin.

3. Pityriasis Versicolor

This fungal infection causes light or dark patches on the chest, back, and shoulders, often due to Malassezia yeast overgrowth.
