Fungus Diagnosis and Treatment

fungus

Fungus infections of the skin are extremely common, especially in the hot sweaty climate of the desert. Fungus is present everywhere in our environment and can easily infect the skin of even the cleanest person.

It is often known as “jock itch” or “athlete’s foot” and frequently causes problems with fingernails and toenails. Fungus can also cause skin rashes that aren’t so obvious.

Fortunately, fungal infections of the skin and nails are relatively easy to diagnose and treat.

However, it often requires a skilled dermatologist with the right experience and tools to do this, so it is important to schedule an evaluation.

At our dermatology centers across the valley, we specialize in diagnosing and treating fungal infections of the skin and nails. Our experienced dermatologists possess the expertise and advanced tools required to accurately diagnose these infections and provide effective treatments tailored to each patient’s needs.
