Common Types of Fungal Infections We Target
Athlete’s Foot (Tinea Pedis)
A common infection causing itching, burning, and cracked skin on the feet.
Nail Fungus (Onychomycosis)
Yellow, brittle nails caused by fungal growth under the nail bed.
Ringworm (Tinea Corporis)
A contagious skin infection marked by red, ring-shaped rashes.
Who’s Most at Risk?
Certain populations are more vulnerable to fungal infections due to environmental, lifestyle, or medical factors:
- Frequent Nail Salon Visitors: Regular manicures or pedicures increase exposure to communal tools and surfaces.
- Athletes and Gym-Goers: Warm, damp environments like locker rooms and shared showers create ideal conditions for fungal growth.
- Individuals with Diabetes: Compromised circulation and slower healing can make fungal infections more severe.
- Older Adults: Thicker nails and reduced immune responses increase susceptibility.
- People with Weakened Immune Systems: Conditions or medications that suppress the immune system can raise the risk of infection.
