Monsoon Skin Woes: How Fungal Infections Flourish & What You Can Do About It

As the monsoon season rolls in with its welcome showers and cooler breezes, it also brings along something far less pleasant: a spike in fungal skin infections. The mix of heat, humidity, and damp clothing creates the perfect storm for fungi to thrive leading to itching, rashes, and often stubborn, recurring infections.

From athlete’s foot and ringworm to groin infections and tinea corporis, cases often surge in India during these months. Dermatologists note that fungal infections have become increasingly chronic and resistant partly due to overuse of steroid-based creams, which offer short-term relief but weaken the skin barrier in the long run.

Why Fungal Infections Spike in the Monsoon

• High humidity keeps the skin moist for long periods

• Tight or wet clothing limits ventilation and increases fungal growth

• Sweaty shoes and socks create warm, moist zones where fungi love to multiply

• Weakened immunity or sensitive skin can also make individuals more prone

What You Can Do to Prevent & Treat Them

• Keep skin dry and clean: Focus on folds, feet, groin, and underarms

• Avoid synthetic clothing that traps moisture

• Use antifungal powders and change socks daily

• Don’t self-medicate with steroid creams consult a dermatologist instead
