Anti-fungal Treatments

Anti-fungal treatments are medications used to treat infections caused by fungi, such as athlete's foot, yeast infections, and ringworm. These treatments can be topical (applied directly to the skin) or systemic (taken orally or intravenously) depending on the infection's severity and location. Common anti-fungal agents include azoles, which stop fungal growth, and polyenes, which kill fungi. While effective, anti-fungal treatments must be used carefully, as overuse can lead to resistance, meaning that fungi can become harder to treat over time. It's important to follow a healthcare provider's guidance when using these medications.
