Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Look for rashes, dry skin, and other symptoms of a fungal infection. Apply an OTC antifungal cream for most skin fungal infections. See your doctor if the infection doesn't clear up with topical cream. Agree to a laboratory diagnosis of the infected skin cells if necessary. Take antifungal tablets for large infections or those above the jaw line. Talk to your doctor about side effects from oral medications. Treat scalp infections with selenium sulfide shampoo.

Answer: Most types of fungal infections have symptoms that cause the infected skin to peel, dry out, and turn red. Most fungal infections are also itchy and can cause discomfort. Some fungal rasheslike a vaginal yeast infection or vaginal candidiasismay have little or no outward symptoms. In these kinds of cases, itching and discomfort are the primary symptoms. For example, ringworm on your face or body looks like 12in (1.3cm) circles on your skin. These circles are typically red, raised, and scaly, with raised edges. Ringworm on your feet, or athlete's foot, manifests as itchy, peeling, dry white skin between your toes. Jock itch involves slightly larger red patches localized in the groin area, and is typically accompanied by severe itching. Topical treatments are the most effective way to treat the majority of fungal infections. Antifungal creams should be applied directly to the infected skin, usually 2 or 3 times a day, and they'll clear up an infection within a week. Always read the directions on the packaging closely and apply the topical cream as directed. Visit your local pharmacy to purchase an OTC antifungal cream. Most large pharmacies have a specific "Antifungal" section. A few common OTC antifungal medications include Lamisil (which is safe for people over 12 years old), Desenex, and Lotrimin AF. Tinactin and Neosporin AF are good choices for treating children with fungal infections. Use these medications as directed on the packaging or by your doctor. Most varieties of OTC antifungal creams include drugs like miconazole, clotrimazole, and econazole. Most mild infections clear up relatively quickly with an antifungal cream. If your infection lasts more than 3 weeksor if it grows to cover a larger area of your bodymake an appointment with your general practitioner. Show them the infection and mention how long it's lasted and whether it's painful. Ask for a prescription to help clear up the infection. Also schedule an appointment if you have a fungal infection on your scalp or a similarly hard-to-reach area. In some cases, it's tough to determine whether or not a rash has been caused by a fungal infection. In these instances, the doctor will collect a sample of skin from the afflicted area and send it to a medical lab for analysis. For example, the doctor will scrape skin cells off of your toes if they suspect you have athlete's foot. If you have a vaginal yeast infection, the doctor will take a sampling of skin cells from your vaginal walls and cervix. It would be impractical to apply a topical cream to, for example, your entire back or both of your legs. If you have a fungal rash that covers more than 1 square foot (0.093m2) of your body, the best treatment option will be an oral tablet. You may also need oral medications to treat fungal infections on your face or scalp. Read the directions closely and take the oral tablets as directed. In many cases, your doctor will ask you to continue taking oral meds for up to 2 weeks after the rash has cleared up. If you have a vaginal yeast infection, the doctor may prescribe soft medicated pellets that you can insert into your vagina that will clear up the infection. Some people experience side effects from oral antifungal medications. In most cases, the side effects are relatively mild and are limited to issues like an upset stomach and irritated skin. Ask your doctor how to avoid or address these side effects. For example, they may recommend Pepto-Bismol for your stomach and a medicated lotion for irritated skin. If you experience severe stomach pain after taking an oral antifungal medication, visit an Urgent Care or emergency room. If you have a fungal infection of the scalp, look for a medicated shampoo containing selenium sulfide, such as Selsun Blue or Head & Shoulders. Follow the directions on the packaging or ask your doctor for advice on how to use these shampoos. Selenium sulfide shampoos are safe for children. If you suspect your child may have a fungal infection of the scalp, take them to the pediatrician for a diagnosis. You can also use selenium sulfide shampoo to treat fungal rashes on other parts of your body, such as athlete's foot. Apply the shampoo to the affected area in the shower and let it sit for a few minutes before rinsing it off. Your symptoms should resolve in about 4 weeks. If your symptoms get worse or don't improve after a few weeks, follow up with your primary care doctor.
