I have a fungal infection with itching. What precautions should I take to prevent it from spreading?
Asked by Male, 22 · 2 months ago
Keep the affected area clean and dry, and avoid scratching to prevent the infection from spreading to nearby skin. Do not share towels, clothing, or personal items, and wash them daily in hot water. Wear loose fitting cotton clothing and use antifungal treatment as prescribed by your doctor until the infection is fully cleared.
