Fungal infections have become one of the very common diseases that affect the skin, nails, scalp, and various other parts of the body. They can cause pain, itching, and irritation, and when treated appropriately, they can be handled effectively. Homeopathic treatment can more gently and non-toxic manage fungal infections by finding the root cause of the problem and working on enhancing the immune system of the patient.
What is a Fungal Infection?
A fungal infection is when fungi multiply in excess on or within the human body, leading to several symptoms. Fungi are naturally occurring microorganisms that can be found in soil, plants, and even the human body. Though most fungi are harmless, some can cause infection if the infection-causing fungi grow under favorable conditions of warmth and moisture.

Athlete's Foot (Tinea Pedis): Usually causes itching, redness, and cracked skin of the feet, particularly between the toes.
Ringworm (Tinea Corporis): This is usually observed as a circular lesion with a clear middle; common in the arms, legs, or body.
Yeast Infection (Candidiasis): This is induced by a group of fungi known as Candida. It affects the mouth (oral thrush), genitalia, or other wet part of the body.
Onychomycosis Nail Fungus: Results in thickening and brittleness, with color changes. Toenails are affected most commonly.
Tinea cruris: Jock itch This disease of the groin results in itching, redness, and irritation of the area.

Causes of Fungal Infections
