Eczema & Fungal Infection Treatment in Bangalore
KOH Skin Scraping, Culture-Guided Antifungals, Ceramide Barrier Repair & Biologics
Medax Vijayashree Hospitals
Allergy, Eczema & Fungal Specialty Center
Chronic eczema (atopic dermatitis), persistent fungal ringworm infections (Tinea corporis, Tinea cruris, Tinea pedis), chronic urticaria (hives), contact dermatitis, and skin scaling cause severe itching, skin thickening, redness, and social discomfort. At Medax Vijayashree Hospitals in Jigani, Bangalore, our Dermatology Department provides specialized diagnostic mycological and immunological care for stubborn skin infections.
Our dermatologists conduct KOH skin scraping microscopy, fungal pathogen cultures, and patch testing for contact allergies to identify the exact fungus or allergen causing your symptoms. We eliminate the misuse of over-the-counter steroid-mixed antifungal creams that cause treatment-resistant fungal infections.

Frequently Asked Questions About Eczema & Fungal Infections
Common skin infection questions answered by our dermatologists.
Fungal infections recur primarily because over-the-counter creams containing steroids (like clobetasol) temporarily suppress itching while causing the fungal parasite to spread deeper and become resistant. Completing a full course of prescription oral antifungals without steroids clears it completely.
