Skin Care In Rainy season

Fungal infections in Monsoon
A fungus grows in humidity � specially like wet skin folds rubbing against each other get macerated easily, providing easy entry to fungi. As a result, there develops itchy, round, reddish, flaking patches on the body, especially in skin folds at the groin , underarms and around the breast in women. Fungal infections can also affect your feet, especially if you wear closed shoes all day. �Scabies is another common infection that preys on both children and adults during the monsoon.

A few tips to avoid fungal infections are:-Once you are seated at your desk, take your shoes and socks off to allow air circulation around your feet. Wear sandals or floaters as far as possible.-Use plenty of dusting talc to prevent accumulation of sweat and moisture in skin folds.-Wash your feet with soap and hot water after wading through stagnant water and then dry them completely.
