Common fungal infection triggers

Tight or non-breathable footwear or clothing
Sharing towels, clothing or shoes
Sweating heavily
When to see a GP instead
This service is for straightforward, localised fungal skin infections. See a GP if the infection covers a large area, affects your scalp, face, groin folds severely, or nails, keeps returning after treatment, shows signs of a bacterial infection such as spreading redness, swelling, warmth or pus, or if you have diabetes or a weakened immune system, as fungal infections can be more serious in these cases.
