Fungal & Infectious Diseases

Fungal infections, bacterial infections like boils, and viral infections like warts are common concerns that, while often not serious, can be uncomfortable, contagious, and stubborn to treat.

About Fungal & Infectious Diseases

Fungal infections, bacterial infections like boils, and viral infections like warts are common concerns that, while often not serious, can be uncomfortable, contagious, and stubborn to treat. At Sparderm, our approach is rooted in accurate diagnosis—because what looks like a fungal infection might sometimes be something else entirely. We often use diagnostic tools like skin scrapings and KOH examination to confirm the presence of fungi before starting treatment, ensuring you get the right medicine from day one.
We treat a wide spectrum of infectious skin conditions, from common ringworm and athlete’s foot to more persistent issues like nail fungus (onychomycosis) and molluscum contagiosum.

Our effective treatment protocols include:

Targeted Antifungal Therapy

Based on the type and extent of the infection, we prescribe topical creams, powders, or oral antifungal medications. For nail fungus, we may recommend medicated nail lacquers or a course of oral tablets.

 

Treatment for Bacterial Infections

This may involve incision and drainage of abscesses followed by a course of appropriate antibiotics to clear the infection completely.

 

Viral Wart Removal

We offer quick and effective in-clinic procedures to remove warts, including cryotherapy (freezing with liquid nitrogen), electrocautery (burning), or laser treatment, which destroy the wart tissue with minimal discomfort.

Prevention & Hygiene Counselling

We provide clear guidance on how to prevent reinfection and spread to family members, focusing on foot hygiene, keeping skin dry, and avoiding sharing personal items.

With our expert diagnosis and targeted treatments, we can clear these infections efficiently, providing you with relief and peace of mind.
