Medicated FUNGICURE Anti-Fungal Wash can be used daily as you would any other body wash, but with the added confidence that it is also effective for eliminating/washing away fungus. Use Medicated FUNGICURE Anti-Fungal Wash alone or with other methods you may be using to control fungal infections.
OVERVIEW OF FUNGAL SKIN INFECTIONS:
Fungal skin infections are caused by yeasts or molds (fungi) that usually make their homes in moist areas of the body where skin surfaces meet: between the toes, in the genital area, and under the breasts. Common infections such as athlete’s foot, jock itch and ringworm are caused by those fungi and are easy to get and pass around. Fungal infections are typically classified by their location on the body, e.g. groin (jock itch), feet (athlete’s foot), body (body ringworm, tinea versicolor), and scalp (scalp ringworm). Doctors may suspect a fungal infection when they see a red, irritated, or scaly rash in one of the commonly affected areas.
HOW DO YOU KNOW IF YOU HAVE JOCK ITCH OR ANOTHER FUNGAL SKIN INFECTION?
Fungal skin infections can affect anyone, but men typically experience a higher incidence of jock itch than women. The appearance of jock itch can be characterized by:
- A circular, reddish-brown, raised rash with elevated edges in the groin and/or thigh area.
- Itching, chafing, burning, or skin redness.
- Flaking, peeling, or cracking skin.
Some fungal skin infections may present themselves as ring-like formations with clear centers, commonly referred to as ringworm. Athlete’s foot is often characterized by scaling of the skin, burning, cracking, itching, and related discomforts. The main symptom of tinea versicolor is patches of discolored skin on the upper body that have sharp borders and fine scales, are often dark red to tan in color and do not darken in the sun so they may appear lighter than the surrounding healthy skin.
WHAT ARE THE CAUSES OF JOCK ITCH AND OTHER FUNGAL INFECTIONS?
Jock itch and other fungal infections can develop under a variety of conditions, including:
- Hot and humid weather conditions that can cause perspiration to accumulate.
- Friction caused by wearing tight, damp or perspiration-soaked clothing for an extended period of time (e.g. exercise or bathing suit garments).
- Sharing clothes or towels with others who have a fungus infection.

PROMPT ACTION AND PROPER TREATMENT: Recognizing and treating fungus infection early is very important for successful results, so it is wise to consult your doctor promptly for advice if you suspect you may have a fungal skin infection.
HOW TO AVOID RECURRENCE OF FUNGAL SKIN INFECTIONS:
- Good personal hygiene is your first line of defense against recurring fungal infections. Shower or bathe daily, as well as after physical activity that may cause sweating.
- Avoid sharing towels.
- Wear clean clothing and change clothing daily, especially undergarments that are in contact with affected areas.
- Avoid any practices that can tear or bruise skin. Anything that tears or opens the skin invites fungus to invade.
- If you have a fungal infection on another area of your body, such as athlete’s foot or finger-and toe-area fungus, be sure to treat it right away to help prevent the fungus from spreading to the groin or torso. Regular use of Medicated FUNGICURE Anti-Fungal Wash helps eliminate/wash away fungus and bacteria that can attack healthy skin.
