 Ghamori Kay se Hoti hay Prickly heat disease.

Hello, we get relief from summer in the rainy season but along with getting relief from heat in the rains, there are many types of skin diseases which are considered to be the main fungal infections, superficial fungal infection, which we call ringworm in common language in common knowledge, is a very common disease in which around 20 to 25 percent of people suffer from it.

Effects definitely happen once or twice in lifetime, so today we will discuss about this on our One MG channel, if you people have not subscribed to it, then subscribe and watch this video till the end, I am Dr. Ramanjit Singh, Senior Consultant Dermatologist, Medanta.

Today I will discuss about fungal infection i.e. ring worm. What is ring worm? Ring worm is basically a fungal infection.

 Why is it named ring worm because the lesions inside it start out like a round ring and as they spread, they start spreading from one part to different parts of the body on 

It is called Tinea cruris. Similarly, fungal infection also develops in the scalp, which means in the hair, due to which the hair starts getting damaged, hair starts falling, patches start forming, in that case we call that fungal infection Tinea capitis.

 If it enters the beard, starts affecting the beard hair, then it becomes Tinea bar and if it affects the nails, then we call it Onco mycosis.

 We have seen that fungal infections spread very fast, it is a contagious disease, it spreads from one person to another, so it is very important to know the reasons due to which it spreads.

 Its positive agents are mainly of three types, one Microsporum, one Epiderm phytes and one Tricho, so these are different spores which develop into fungus, cause fungal infection and why does it happen? It happens normally due to sweat, due to wetness or if the humidity levels increase, so first of all it is seen. 

 It has been found that fungal infection can spread through direct body to body contact.

 If one person has the fungus and is in contact with another person for a long time, or if their clothes are washed together, then one person has the fungus.

It will definitely grow beyond that. So these are all such conditions which help the fungus to grow or multiply and fungal infection can grow very fast.

 So now we have seen the science and symptoms of fungal infection because until we know the symptoms, we start getting patches of different which are in a circular form, ok in ring shape and those patches itch a lot, there is a lot of irritation and burning sensation in them and these patches keep on increasing and if they happen in one area then they start spreading to other areas as well and sometimes they start appearing a little raised from the skin. 

Apart from this, if there is fungus in the hair, then we see that patchy hair loss starts happening, different patches are formed, dandruff-like things start appearing in them, there is a lot of itching and at the same place where there is fungus in the scalp, then it takes the form of patches, that is, it takes the form of alopecia. 

 In which hair is not seen, apart from this, if it happens to the nails, then the nails start breaking, yellowness appears in the nails, they become brittle, long stripes also appear in them and they keep on becoming hollow from the middle, then these are the major signs and symptoms of nails on the skin.

It is very easy to diagnose ring worm of fungal infection on hair and feet. We don't need to do much specific lab investigations for it.

 First of all, a person can see it with naked eye only. If you are going to a dermatologist, then he can diagnose it by looking at you with his eyes only and can tell you that you have a fungal infection. Apart from this, there is a device which is called Wood's lam, this is available with the dermatologist only,

in which we throw light on the fungal call on the colony, then in that light, the hyphae start glowing, start shining, so this is a very easy method, OPD is not possible, apart from this, the latest method which has been considered which is confirmatory is skin scraping, we take scrape from where fungus occurs.

Let's take a scrape, that is, a small piece of the upper layer of the skin and we test it in the lab in which fungal hyphae are visible. So these are three types of easy means by which we can diagnose it easily. Now, when we have diagnosed ringworm, then we have to see how we can protect ourselves from it, how we can prevent it.

 So, for prevention of ringworm, there are some very normal precautions that we have to follow. 

There is no need for any doctor's advice in this. First of all, keep yourself clean, keep your body neat, bathe regularly and wear clean washed clothes. Do not share your towel, your clothes, your body etc. with any other person. 

Apart from this, wear loose clothes, wear pure cotton clothes so that air can pass through, sweat will not settle on the body, it will not get wet, then the fungus will not grow. Apart from this, if any gentleman has pets at home, So let's keep them clean as well

We should also get them groomed regularly because that can also be a reason for fungal infection.

 It has been seen from stomach also that sometimes human transmission is very high. Apart from this, we have to moisturize our skin, keep our hair clean and even if you do gardening etc.

 like working in mud, then this fungus can also spread from that, so immediately after doing that, wash your hands and feet properly and dry them after washing so that this fungus does not come. 

If we indulge in sports activities, play and jump and sweat a lot, then make sure that immediately after coming home, remove wet clothes and plus after taking bath, rub your body immediately with water.

After rubbing, dry and wear washed clothes. If we take a little care of all these things in our daily life, then we can avoid it to a great extent. So, if ringworm has occurred, then it is very important to cure it and it has to be cured in time so that it does not spoil and affect different parts of the body area. So for this, the first medication that people use is topical medication, which is in the form of creams.

 So, we use creams, if there is a small body surface area where fungus has occurred, then for that, only creams are used.

If there is a small body surface area where fungus has occurred, then for that only creams are applied. 

 If applied regularly, then in about three to four weeks, it clears the fungus from there.

 If it has occurred inside the scalp, inside the head, inside the hair, then we have shampoos nowadays in the form of Kit Konjal. Use them two to three times a week.

 Plus, lotions also come along with it which are made for scalp hair and scalp fungus. We can use them morning and So, in that case, we have to give oral medicine along with it. Plus, nail polishes come in the form of nail polish.

 If we apply them regularly, then we can get rid of that as well. But if we are treating nail fungus, then understand that it takes about six to four weeks.

 We have to continue the treatment for 8 months. Similarly, if the body fungus is resistant and is not getting cured with just cream, then we have to give oral medicine, which we give for about two and a half to three months, and plus we apply topical as well, so that it gradually gets radiated from the body. 

Plus, we have to keep in mind the precautions that I have mentioned and ensure that the fungus does not grow again.

 Remember, fungal infection is a contagious disease. If someone gets it, then immediately consult your doctor. Do not rub the part where the fungus has occurred too much. Do not use tubes from the market.

 Do not use home remedies, otherwise you will make it worse and you will see its more developed form.
