Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
Humidity above 80% promotes fungal growth. Combined with wet clothes and reduced sunlight, infections spread rapidly. Our antifungal treatment protocols are adjusted for monsoon conditions.
Yes, ringworm is highly contagious through direct contact or shared items. We provide family screening and preventive treatment to stop household transmission.
Early-stage ringworm responds well to intensive 3-day protocols combining oral and topical medications. Extensive infections require longer treatment periods.
The causative fungus remains on skin even after treatment. Heat and humidity reactivate it. We provide maintenance therapy to prevent seasonal recurrence.
Complete cure requires 3-6 months as healthy nail grows. Fingernails clear faster than toenails. Oral medications work better than topical treatments alone.
Avoid swimming until infection clears to prevent spreading and worsening. Chlorinated pools and seawater can irritate infected skin.
Prescription-strength medications contain higher concentrations and different formulations than over-the-counter options. Resistant infections need specific antifungal classes.
AC environments with poor ventilation, stress, and long sitting hours in synthetic clothing increase risk. We provide workplace-specific prevention strategies.
While some have antifungal properties, medical treatment ensures complete cure and prevents resistance. We integrate safe traditional practices with medical therapy.
Not necessarily. Kerala’s climate, genetics, and immune status play major roles. Even with excellent hygiene, fungal infections can occur in tropical conditions.
