When to see a doctor

Seek care if you notice any of the following

  • If you have a fungal skin infection and your skin starts to bleed or ooze pus, go to your nearest clinic or hospital immediately.
  • If your fungal skin infection is spreading to other parts of your body, such as your face, neck, or hands, go to your nearest clinic or hospital as soon as possible.
  • If you have a fever over 38°C (100.4°F) with a fungal skin infection, go to your nearest clinic or hospital right away.
  • If your fungal skin infection is not improving after using antifungal creams or ointments for 2 weeks, go to your nearest clinic or hospital to see a doctor.
  • If you have a weakened immune system, such as HIV/AIDS, and get a fungal skin infection, go to your nearest clinic or hospital for treatment as soon as possible.
