Dr Gunjan Verma shared prevention tips to follow that can prevent fungal infections and help us stay safe:
Bathing every day is extremely important, especially for those individuals involved in physically strenuous or sweaty tasks. When working outdoors or sweating heavily, it is advisable to bathe twice a day to wash off sweat and prevent fungal growth on the skin.
Each family member must use their own towel, and all towels must be washed daily. Sharing towels can spread fungal spores from one individual to another.
Sweaty undergarments are a breeding ground for fungal infection. Develop a habit of washing underwear every day, preferably in warm water, to kill fungal spores effectively. Also read | Not washing your bedsheets regularly? You are at risk of these 5 skin infections
Sunlight is a natural disinfectant. Always dry clothes in direct sunlight, as damp clothes or clothes dried in humid conditions can carry fungus.
If someone in the family is infected, ensure that their clothes and towels are washed separately to prevent the infection from spreading to other members of the family.
Fungal spores can remain on bedsheets and infect the skin again. Change your bedsheets every day during active infection or periods of excessive sweating.
Try your best not to self-medicate with over-the-counter creams. Incomplete or improper treatment can result in drug-resistant fungal infections, making it much harder to cure. Always consult a doctor for proper diagnosis and treatment. Also read | Skin infections to watch out for in gym, tips to prevent yourself from contracting them
A strong immune system is your initial line of defense against infections. Drink plenty of water and consume a healthy, nutritious, and balanced diet to boost your body's natural resistance to fungal infections.
