Home remedy for inguinal fungus
In the case of fungal infections, it should be noted that mushrooms feel especially comfortable in a warm and humid environment. Here they find the best conditions for growth. It is therefore helpful to deprive yourself of this environment.
After showering and if you sweat a lot, you should make sure that the skin is thoroughly dried. The application of baby powder or baking soda can also be used in this sense. Aloe Vera also has a positive effect on skin fungus. The itching can be relieved and the skin is cared for at the same time. Other products that are used are for example apple vinegar, garlic or lavender oil.
Which fungi cause inguinal fungus particularly frequently?
Various fungi can infest the human body. Here one distinguishes three genera. The thread-fungi (Dermatophyten), the shoot-fungi (yeasts) and molds belong to it.
Typical pathogens of the groin fungus are the dermatophytes. The most frequent infections are caused by the subform “Trichophyton rubrum”. If parts of the body such as the groin are affected that are located between two folds of skin (so-called intertrigines), one speaks of “Tinea intertriginosa” or in the special case of the groin of “Tinea Inguinalis”.Particularly in the context of a defense weakness of the body it comes to an infestation of the skin by yeasts. If the most frequent form “Candida-albicans” attacks the groin region, this is called “Candida inguinalis”.
Duration of a groin fungus infection
How long a groin fungus infection lasts initially depends on the extent of the infection. There are also acute and chronic forms of fungal infections of the skin. Thus, an infection can last for a few days, but also for years.
In principle, the skin must be treated until the infection subsides. If an initially local therapy with creams and solutions does not work, a combination with a systemic therapy can be started after one to two weeks. In the case of deep-seated and extensive findings, treatment is carried out directly with a two-week systemic therapy.
