Fungal skin infections often look like eczema or dry patches, which is why they’re commonly mis-treated.
Using steroid creams alone can temporarily reduce redness but allow the infection to spread underneath.
Treatment requires antifungal agents used consistently for the right duration. Keeping the area dry and avoiding occlusive products during treatment also helps prevent recurrence.
If a rash isn’t improving, reassessment is important.
