Skin Infection Treatment Pune

Treatment is selected according to the type of fungal infection, the area involved, its severity, and whether it has occurred before. At Eternis Skin Clinic, our dermatologists focus on confirming the infection and then choosing an appropriate treatment plan.

• Antifungal Creams and Other Topical Treatments: Mild or localised fungal infections can often be managed with antifungal creams, gels, lotions, or other topical preparations. The medication and duration are selected according to the specific infection and affected area.
• Oral Antifungal Medicines: When an infection is extensive, persistent, or difficult to manage with topical medication alone, oral antifungal therapy may be considered. Medicines such as terbinafine, itraconazole, or fluconazole may be prescribed when clinically appropriate and under medical supervision.
• Treatment for Fungal Nail Infections: Nail fungus can be particularly persistent because the infection develops within or beneath the nail. Depending on the severity and individual case, treatment may involve oral or topical antifungal medicines, with additional procedures such as laser therapy considered in selected cases.
• Antifungal Treatment for Scalp Infections: Fungal infections affecting the scalp, such as tinea capitis, generally require medical treatment rather than topical products alone. Oral antifungal medication may be combined with an antifungal shampoo to reduce fungal load on the scalp and help limit spread.
• Skin Care and Barrier Support: Once an infection begins to improve, maintaining the skin barrier becomes an important part of recovery. Appropriate moisturisation and gentle skin care can help reduce dryness and irritation while supporting the skin’s natural protective function.
• Preventing Recurrence: Repeated fungal infections may be associated with moisture, sweating, close contact, shared personal items, or incomplete treatment. Dermatologists may recommend practical hygiene measures, clothing and footwear habits, and other preventive steps based on the individual’s circumstances.
