© Courtesy of DNAMany people develop a yeast infection at some point in their lives. High temperature, humidity and poor hygiene are potential causes of fungal infection. Some typical yeast infections include oral thrush, jock itch, diaper rash, and athlete's foot. Despite the use of the term ringworm, it is actually a fungus, not a worm, and is one of the most common fungal infections in humans.
Due to the humid and humid climate and the lack of fresh air, the fungus, which is usually found on almost everyone's skin, can spread and grow uncontrollably, contributing to the spread of athlete's foot and itchy muscles.

What is thrush?
Fungi are everywhere: in the soil, on plants and even on the skin. Unless they multiply faster than normal or enter your skin through a cut or injury, these tiny organisms on your skin usually do not cause problems.
What are natural remedies for skin infections?
- Wash the affected area twice with soap and water before applying any medication.
- Use apple cider vinegar because it has antifungal properties. You can mix two tablespoons in warm water and drink, or use a cotton swab and apply to the skin.
- Heat coconut oil and apply it. Use more than three times a day.
- Use turmeric by mixing it with some water and applying it on the infected area. You can also drink turmeric tea.
- Make a paste by pressing a few cloves of garlic with a little olive oil. Apply to the affected area for about 30 minutes.
- Fungal infections can be treated by washing the affected area with celery water. Boil neem leaves in water for two to three minutes to make a decoction.
- Baking soda helps with fungal infections, such as athlete's foot. You can reduce dampness and sweat by rubbing baking soda on your feet and inside your shoes. As a result, the infection cannot spread.
- Add ginger to your diet, especially in the form of ginger tea.
