Skin Fungus on the Body (Mycosis): Symptoms and Triggers

Skin fungus, also known as skin mycosis or dermatophytosis, is an infectious disease caused by fungi that attack the skin, hair, or nails. This condition can cause various uncomfortable and potentially serious complications, especially if not treated properly and in a timely manner.

Typical symptoms of skin fungus include itching, redness, cracked or peeling skin, and in some cases, the formation of blisters or ulcers. These symptoms often occur in warm and moist areas of the body, such as:

  • on the feet and hands,
  • on the neck and face,
  • on the abdomen,
  • in the groin,
  • between the fingers,
  • under the arms,
  • or under the breasts.

Triggers for skin fungus include factors such as temperature and humidity of the environment, inadequate hygiene, wearing tight clothing, or using public showers and swimming pools. People with weakened immune systems, diabetes, or cardiovascular diseases are also more susceptible.

Skin mycoses also occur in children, and can be found even in babies. If you notice any symptoms of skin fungus, do not hesitate and make an appointment for an examination with a dermatologist at ATODA Medical as soon as possible. Delaying treatment can worsen the condition and lead to complications.

Call us today and schedule a specific appointment without waiting and long lines.

Skin Fungus: Treatment at ATODA Medical

Doctors in our private clinic often deal with skin fungus on the back and chest, but also skin fungus anywhere else on the body. Treatment of skin fungus includes the use of antifungal drugs in the form of creams, gels, sprays, or tablets. It is important to start treatment as soon as possible to prevent the spread of infection and minimize the risk of complications.

Visit ATODA Medical immediately if you suspect skin fungus, so that the diagnosis can be confirmed and appropriate treatment can begin. Our doctors can perform dermatological examinations and, if necessary, take a skin sample for laboratory examination. We are equipped not only with modern diagnostic technologies but also a wide range of antifungal drugs and treatment procedures that can ensure effective and rapid recovery of the patient.

Untreated Mycosis on the Skin Can Cause Permanent Consequences

Untreated mycosis of the skin can cause many problems. Serious consequences include the spread of skin infection to other parts of the body, permanent damage to the skin or nails, the development of purulent inflammations, allergic reactions, or even blood infections. With what symptoms should you immediately seek help:

  • red dry spots on the body (be alert even if the red spots on your body do not itch),
  • red spots under the arms,
  • brown spots on the body,
  • dry and itchy spots on the body.

However, a simple rule applies: consult a doctor for spots on the body and any signs of skin mycosis, and do not neglect treatment.

 

Big red spots on the body and other problems can be solved by our dermatology

Whatever skin problems you have (such as nail fungus, red spots on the body, spots, ringworm, papillomas and other skin growths), our dermatologist can help.

So far we've had only good experiences with doctors at Atoda. The detmatologist was great and managed to treat a terrible infection and an endless eczema in our boy. The pediatrician is always very nice and a good listener, so is the GP and the gynegologist. All of them always caring and helpful when needed.
