Specialized Treatment for Tinea, Ringworm, and Other Skin Fungal Infections

Fungal infections like tinea (ringworm), athlete’s foot, jock itch, and fungal nail infections are common in hot and humid climates. If left untreated or wrongly treated with over-the-counter creams, these infections can become chronic and resistant. At A.R.M. SKIN Hospital, we offer effective, dermatologist-supervised fungal infection treatment in Charkhi Dadri tailored to your specific skin type and infection severity.

What is a Fungal (Tinea) Infection?

Fungal infections are caused by microscopic fungi that grow on the skin, nails, or scalp. They are contagious and often thrive in sweaty, damp areas of the body such as the underarms, groin, feet, or between skin folds.

The most common type of fungal skin infection is Tinea, also known as ringworm, which appears as red, circular, itchy patches on the skin.
