Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
Our 3 day ringworm treatment using oral terbinafine with potent topical antifungals shows visible improvement within 72 hours. Complete ringworm infection treatment typically requires 2-4 weeks for permanent cure.
Tinea versicolor causes light or dark patches without the classic ring shape of ringworm. P versicolor affects pigmentation and requires different treatment than typical ring worm disease.
Mild ringworm may respond to anti antifungal cream alone, but extensive or recurring infections need oral medications. Professional ringworm ointment is more effective than OTC options.
White spots on nail can indicate fungal infection, trauma, or nutritional deficiency. Fungal nail infections require systemic antifungal therapy as topical treatments rarely penetrate adequately.
Pityriasis versicolor isn’t contagious person-to-person. The causative fungus normally lives on skin but overgrows in certain conditions. Pit versicolor requires treatment to restore normal skin color
Chunangu is the local Malayalam term for various fungal infections, typically referring to ringworm or tinea infections. Medical dermatophytosis is the scientific term for these conditions.
P versicolor treatment clears active infection in 2-4 weeks, but skin color normalization takes 2-3 months. Pityriasis versicolour treatment requires maintenance to prevent recurrence in Kerala’s humidity.
Cordyceps supplements boost immunity and may help prevent recurrent fungal infections. However, active ringworm infection requires proper antifungal medication, not just supplements.
Kerala’s high humidity, warm climate, and monsoon seasons create ideal conditions for fungus growth. Incomplete treatment, reinfection from family members, and environmental factors cause recurrence.
Buni treatment includes accurate diagnosis, oral and topical antifungals, family screening, environmental counseling, and prevention strategies. We combine modern medicine with practical Kerala-specific advice.
