Fungal infections are very common, though embarrassing.

There are many over-the-counter remedies for fungal infections. I have had the best luck with Lotrimin spray-on powder for treating athlete's foot, some kind of splotchy stuff on my back, and a nosocomial infection on my wrist/hand. It is important to continue to use the product for a week after the fungus is no longer visible, or you can count on it coming back.

Fungal infections can usually affect any parts of the body apart from the skin. Thus, antifungal creams may not always be an option if your infection is within your organ system. The best known treatment for fungal infections so far is Fluconazole 150 mg which is taken orally for more effective results. However, you have to make sure that you have the doctor's consent before taking this medication.
