if you love watching Glamrs videos
and would like to be notified every time

please bash that bell icon below.
I would like to tell you all a little bit briefly about fungal infections
A-it is caused by a fungus obviously
it loves heat and humidity so anywhere in the body
wherever there are folds and when you are sweating
and perspiring a lot and when there is
heat so folds are common
and in the feet in between the toes so that is
also very common
and if you've got that fungal infection on the face
then as I said treat yourself by applying the creams
but if it is at a lot of places
you definitely need to see a dermatologist
and oral anti fungal tablets have to be given
to cure it completely because just a cream will
just treat it under surface
and here I would like to give a word of caution
do not I repeat do not apply steroid creams to that.
These creams will just facilitate the growth of that fungus
if the steroid creams just say yes yes fungus come on
and go on expanding and that's how it increases
and that's how the epidemic starts.
I get fungal infections quite often on the
left of my face
can you please suggest some ways I can avoid it
and what should be done if I get it
also what causes them?
Fungal infection on the face it's
very common on the feet in the groin but on the face it's not
very common unless you are meaning it what we call as PT Riis's alpha you know
there are those white spots which children get and those white spots come
up in summer when they've been out in the Sun so you have not been very clear
whether you are getting those white spots on the cheek or you're getting
fungal infection that is ringworm you know the typical pattern
warm on the face that is relatively rare if you think she has that ring one thing
okay if you feel you have ringworm it's a ring pattern then definitely an
antifungal cream you can apply antifungal creams which contain
clotrimazole which contain Lully Kaunas all those creams can be applied but I
want to tell you all at this stage that a fungal infection any I can talk about
in Bombay since I'm practicing in Bombay in Mumbai sorry there is an epidemic
how to prevent it now I'd like to say that see whenever we go barefoot
especially in the swimming pools or when we sorry around the swimming pools when
we are walking please wear your flip-flops because somebody who's got a
fungal infection we call it athlete's foot that scaling or just dead skin
coming out between the web spaces the person who's got infected is just
dropping the fungus all around the pool you walk barefoot you are going to get
that fungus in your skin in your between your toes and we all have microscopic
cuts on our skin at the feet so the fungus enters inside and it has anyway
heat humidity if you are one of those executives or if you are one of those
working women wearing shoes all the time so because of the heat that fungus is
going to spread and of course nowadays as I mentioned earlier vitamin D
deficiency is there so if any you have any deficiencies the fungus just had up
has a party and it starts growing in your feet so whenever you go anywhere
please wear your flip-flops when you go to the garden please wear your Footwear
and if you have it anywhere else please make sure that you take treatment by a
dermatologist and one last thing is that anyone who's got a fungal infection or
ringworm please please soak your clothes in boiling water because of fungus dies
only at a temperature of above 60 degrees centigrade and our washing
machines in India do not have the facility of hot water it's only abroad
that they have so in India we have only water that's it so if anyone has a
fungal infection soak their clothes in boiling water above 60 degrees
centigrade the fungus gets killed secondly very important iron your
clothes on the unders reverse your clothes and then on the
seams you iron it because it's the hot iron which will kill the fungus thank
you I hope that he owes you alright thank you so much dr. financing so many
questions today thank you pleasure having you see you next week until then
stay tuned and stay glamorous
