Personal hygiene and precautions: Personal hygiene measures are very important in the treatment of fungal infections. Measures such as cleanliness, keeping the infected area dry and ventilated and choosing suitable shoes and socks reduce the spread of the fungus and the risk of reinfection.

The course of treatment depends on the type and prevalence of the infection, so it is important to use the medication as prescribed by the doctor and to follow the doctor's instructions carefully.
