Other Therapy

Fungal infections thrive in moist, enclosed areas. The following instructions are important to prevent and treat skin and vaginal fungal infections.
 

  • Try to keep the skin free from persistent moisture.


  • Shower thoroughly after activities that produce sweat and dry areas prone to fungal infection.


  • In infants, keep diaper area dry.


  • Cotton underwear may help prevent excessive moisture for women who are prone to vaginal infections.


  • Try to maintain the proper fungus/bacteria balance in the vagina by eating yogurt or taking acidophilus capsules.
