Fungal Infections

Fungal infections are the major skin related problem as fungus and yeast thrive in wet skin folds like underarms, groins and under the breasts.

 

Feet are another area for such infections especially amongst those who wear shoes and socks throughout the day.

 

Keep dry will be the motto during this season. Ensure that clothes, socks, footwear etc are dry.

 

Use adequate talcum powder, especially in the folds. Remove your socks and shoes while seated in office.

 

Bacterial Infections

 

Increased chances of exposure to dirty water during monsoons predispose us to bacterial infections especially to those with underlying chronic ailments like diabetes and eczema.

 

Frequent scratching often breaks the skin barrier, which in turn leads to skin infections.

 

Scabies

 

Monsoon brings with it increased chances of scabies.

 

Scabies, being very contagious, has increased chances of spreading through the family route or the school route.

 

Early detection and treatment are the best ways of preventing further spread and complicated secondary bacterial infections.
