Superficial fungal dermatophytoses (commonly known as ringworm or tinea) thrive in humid climates and can cause severe pruritus, circular scaling rashes, and persistent discomfort.

At Dermiiz, we specialize in eradicating resistant and recurrent fungal infections caused by improper OTC steroid cream usage. Our dermatologists prescribe targeted oral and topical antifungals alongside strict hygiene counseling for definitive clearance.

Frequently asked questions

Have questions about our treatments? Here are answers to common questions to help guide you on your treatment journey.

Recurrence often occurs when treatment is stopped prematurely or when OTC combination steroid creams were used, which suppress immunity rather than killing spores.
A complete course usually takes 3 to 6 weeks. It is vital to continue medication for at least one week after all visual symptoms have resolved.
Avoid multi-action creams containing clobetasol or betamethasone, as topical steroids cause fungal spread and skin thinning.
Wash clothing and bedsheets in warm water, dry clothes in direct sunlight, iron inner garments, and avoid sharing towels.
Yes, post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation gradually fades over time once the active fungal infection is completely resolved.
