Hi,

I am Dr. Archit Aggarwal, Dermatologist. Aaj humne topic select kiya hai fungal infections. Kyuki ye bohut jyada faile hue hain and log bohut jyada preshan hain. Isliya aaj humne ye topic select kiya hai. Vaise toh ye bohut common term hai. Lekin ek organism hota hai joki skin loving hota hai. Ye skin ko effect karta hai. Uski vajaha se fungal infection hota hai. Hone ko ye nail mein bhi ho sakta hai, hair mein bhi, skin mein bhi ho sakta hai. Simultaneously 2-3 jagah pe bhi ho sakta hai. Lekin commonly ski ke un areas mein hota hai jahan jyada sweating hoti hai ya fir jyada friction hota hai. Jaise breast ke niche, armpits mein ya fir growin area mein ho gaya. Hindi mein isko log daad bhi bolte hain. Iska proper ilaj karna bohut jaruri hai doston. Pehle toh mein aap ko btata hun ki ye dikhta kaisa hai. Ye normally red color ka circle mein hota hai.

Bohut jyada itching hoti hai. Kayi baar ismein pus vale daane bhi hote hain, pustules bhi hote hain and kayi baar ye faille bhi sakta hai. Iska ilaj karna isliya jaruri hai kyuki agar iska ilaj time se nahi kiya gaya toh jyada faille sakta hai. Kayi baar ye puri body mein bhi faille sakta hai. Isko hum arthroderma bolte hain and ye medical emergency hai. Humein isko proper Dr ko dikhana isliya jaruri hai kyuki is se milti julti kayi bimariyan hain jo is se milti julti dikhti hain lekin vo hoti nahi hain fungal infection. Isliya agar hum fungal infection ka treatment karte rhenge toh koi fayda nahi milega. Dusri baat ye hai ki kyuki iska ilaj mehenga hai toh ismein alag alag classes anti-fungal kar ke hum dete hain. Kyuki iske andar drug resistance bohut aa gaya hai. Ek iska karan hai steroids ka use karna. Kyuki patient boht frustrated hota hai. Steroid lene se result jaldi milta hai but fungal infection faille raha hota hai. Aur jab steroids lagana band kiya jata hai toh itching bhi hoti hai. Toh iske andar proper anti-fungal medications jitne din ke liya bola jaye, utne din ke liya karna jaruri hai. Kayi baar ismein anti-fungal medications 2-3 months tak chalti hain.

Is se hafte 10 din mein aram aata hai. Uske baad medications mehngi hoti hai toh patient bich mein hi medications discontinue kar dete hain. Toh us se fungus vapas grow karna start kar deta hai. Isliya jab tak mana naa kiya jaye tab tak medicines nahi band karni chaiye. Proper qualified dermatologist se consult karna hai. Kuch chizen aur bhi hain jo aap ko dhyan rakhni hai treatment ke time. Ek toh ismein personal hygiene pe dhyan dena hai. Anti-fungal shampoo use kar sakte hain. Undergarments alag se wash karne hain. Sugar content kam lena hai. Jyada scratch nahi karna skin ko. Well ventilated clothes pehnne hain. Hope you find good health.
