Question- What is the difference between fungal and bacterial infections in the monsoon?
answer- In the rainy season, both fungal and bacterial infections spread rapidly due to increasing moisture and wetness. Many times people understand these two as the same, but their symptoms are different. If the difference is identified at the right time, then the treatment becomes easier.
Fungal infection
- It spreads slowly.
- Rugs like round or ring are formed on the skin.
- There is a problem like itching, burning and crust freezing.
- More wet places such as armpits, thighs or toes occur between the fingers.
- Sweating or long wetness increases further.
Bacterial infection
- It begins with severe pain, redness and swelling.
- There may be a lot of boils on the skin.
- Pain feels more when touching.
- It can spread rapidly and take severe form.
Question- Does fungal infection spread from one person to another?
answer- Dermatologist Dr. Sheena Kapoor says that fungal infection is contact infection i.e. it can spread from one person to another. If someone touches the skin of an infected person, uses his towel, clothes, shoes or beds, then the risk of infection increases. Therefore, doctors recommend not to share personal hygiene items of a person with fungal infection.
Question- Which people are at greater risk of skin infection in monsoon?
answer- Dr. Sheena Kapoor says that in the rainy season, everyone may have a skin problem, but some people are more at risk.
People with oily skin- Those whose skin is very oily, sweating and dirt lasts more. This moisture gives fungus and bacteria a chance to grow.
Children and elderly- Usually, their immunity is low, so they get into the grip of infection quickly.
People with allergies or skin problems- Those who already have eczema, allergies or other skin diseases should take special care in the monsoon.
Diabetes patients- In these, the immunity becomes weak due to increase in blood sugar level. Therefore, the body is not able to fight easily with infection.
Question- Can more use of deodorant and talcum powder in the monsoon do harm?
answer- Yes, more use of them in monsoon can be harmful to skin. If we apply deodorants again and again, the chemicals present in it can irritate the skin and increase problems like pimples or itching. Similarly, the talcum powder absorbs moisture, but if it is applied in large quantities again and again, the natural moisture of the skin is also snatched away, which makes the skin dry and more sensitive. Therefore, it is better to use them limited during the rainy season.
Question- When should a doctor consult on the monsoon skin infection?
answer- If there is frequent itching on the skin, rash appears, crust -like layers, blisters come out or pain, then a doctor should be seen immediately. Avoid applying the cream from the market itself as they can have steroids, which further increase the infection rather than correcting. Infection is quickly and completely cured by taking a doctor’s advice at the right time.
