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.

How do you treat fungal infection?

Since most fungal skin infections are surface infections, antifungal treatments are usually applied directly to the skin in the infected area (topical treatments). There are a variety of treatments available in the form of creams, lotions and medicated powders. If the rash covers quite a large area of skin, or affects the nails or scalp, then tablets may be required.
