Skin Infections
Skin infections such as ringworm and athlete's foot are common fungal infections caused by dermatophytes, a group of fungi that thrive in warm, moist environments.
Ringworm, or tinea corporis, manifests as red, circular and itchy rashes with clearer skin in the centre, giving it a ring-like appearance.
Athlete's foot, or tinea pedis, affects the feet, particularly the spaces between the toes, leading to itching, burning and cracked skin. Both infections are highly contagious and can spread through direct contact with infected skin, surfaces or personal items.
Thankfully, we offer skin infection treatments to help you clear your stubborn skin infection and relieve your symptoms.

Skin Infections Treatments
How do skin infection treatments work?
Skin infection treatments, such as Nystaform, are topical medications used to treat skin infections caused by fungi and bacteria. It contains two active ingredients: nystatin, an antifungal that disrupts the fungal cell membrane, and chlorhexidine, an antiseptic that destroys bacterial cell membranes.
Together, these components effectively stop the growth of fungi and reduce bacterial infections, making Nystaform cream and ointment suitable for treating mixed skin infections.
