Fortunately,they only rarely occur on the face;but they do appear in most otherparts of the body – from head to toe,especially the toe.Tinea on the toes and elsewhereon the foot – commonly called“athlete’s foot” – is probably the bestknown of all the fungal infections.It’s caused by a group of fungi called“dermatophytes”. Areas of the bodyother than the feet can be affected.Fungal nail infections which arenotoriously difficult to treat aregenerally caused by this kind offungus.Other forms of fungal infectionsare caused by yeasts and moulds.The infection known as candidiasis,or thrush, is caused by the Candidaspecies of yeasts. Candida infectionsmay be easily confused with otherfungal infections such as tinea orbacterial infections such as impetigoor even non-infectious skinproblems such as eczema orpsoriasis.Candidiasis commonly affectsthose parts of the body where skinrubs against skin, especially if theenvironment is warm and moist. Ifthe patient – man, woman or child –is overweight or obese, the risk iseven greater still. So, the areaswhere you are likely to see thosebeasty yeasts multiply (or ratherwhere you would like to avoid seeingthem), are the groin, under thebreasts, the armpits and maybebeneath the beer gut.Candidiasis of the skin usuallyresponds well to topical treatments.Products containing nystatin areeffective but the broader spectrumimidazoles (such as Canesten,Clonea, Daktarin, Mycospor,Nizoral, Pevaryl or Resolve) will be abetter choice if infection withdermatophytes (tinea) is alsosuspected.If the area is inflamed or itchy, acombination of one of the imidazoleantifungals plus hydrocortisonemight be useful (products such asHydrozole or Resolve Plus which areavailable directly from yourpharmacist). In most cases of nappyrash, Candida infection is present,so one of these creams is anappropriate treatment.A regular routine associatedwith nappy changes will help reducethe risk of thrush infection: changenappies frequently and do not useplastic overpants or nappy linersGALLOWAYSPHARMACYKING STREET SCOTTSDALEwhichprevent the skin fromdrying; use a soap substitute anddispersible oil for bathing; use adamp cloth or baby wipes that do notcontain alcohol; and apply anemollient such as zinc and castor oilcream after each nappy change –your pharmacist can recommend asuitable product.Oral thrush is also common inbabies; but not only babies. Olderpeople (with a less competentimmune system) and denturewearers are at increased risk, asare smokers and people with achronic dry mouth condition.People who use so-calledcorticosteroid preventer puffersfor asthma may also be at risk ifthe mouth is not rinsed properlyafter using the puffer.Various antifungal gels anddrops are available to treat oralthrush. If dry mouth is a triggerfactor, then saliva stimulatoryproducts will be useful. Speciallyformulated mouthwashes, gels,gums and toothpaste can help.Oral thrush in adults cansometimes be a sign of a moreserious underlying condition; so itneeds to be investigated.Vaginal thrush can beparticularly uncomfortable, andrecurrence is common. Creamsand pessaries are available to treatvaginal thrush; and they come inseven day, three day or single dosetherapy. The single dosetreatments are usually onlyeffective for the first or infrequentepisodes. A single dose oraltreatment (fluconazole) is now alsoavailable and may be chosen whenthe topical treatments (creams andpessaries) have not beensuccessful, or if the preference isfor oral therapy.Thrush symptoms can be verydistressing but they can be treatedeffectively and comparativelyeasily. A summary of the causes,the aggravating factors, thetreatment and the self help hintsto reduce the risk of re-infection, isprinted on the recently updatedFact Card titled Thrush.The card is available from allpharmacies around Australiawhich provide the PharmaceuticalSociety’s Self Care healthinformation.
