Fungal skin infections can cause many unpleasant symptoms. These include soreness, redness, itching, a rash, discolouration, or lumps under the skin.
Fungal skin infections have many causes.
Fungal Skin Infections
Athlete’s foot, ringworm, and fungal nail infections are all common, but there are many types that can affect different areas of our bodies.
Hot and humid environments, excess sweating, or being overweight all pose risk factors for contracting a fungal skin infection.
Candida fungal infections can occur in the armpits, groin, or under the breast area.
Ringworm fungal infections can occur on the arms, legs, trunk, or groin area.
Fungal skin infections can be treated at home using over the counter medications, available from your local pharmacy. However, should they worsen, or if the area affected is large, or if you have a weakened immune system, you should always consult your GP.
Anti Chafing Shorts
In terms of fungal skin infections, prevention is always better than cure, and there are steps we can take to minimise the likelihood of an infection occurring, by wearing the appropriate clothing.
Fungal infections thrive in warm, moist, settings, such as in the folds of skin, or on areas of skin that are prone to chafing and sweating.
By investing in high quality, well fitting anti chafing shorts, we can prevent the skin on the thighs rubbing together in warm temperatures, whilst also providing a protective layer that helps them from getting clammy and moist – those conditions provide an ideal breeding ground for the bacteria that cause fungal skin infections.
Anti chafing shorts help to keep your skin healthy, and your confidence high. They can be discreetly worn under your favourite outfit, for a streamlined silhouette, whilst giving you the freedom and comfort to enjoy life.
