Antifungal medications are what kill fungus on the face. These medications can be applied directly to the affected area (topical medications) or taken by mouth.
Topical Antifungal Medications
Topical antifungal medications are commonly used to treat fungal infections on the face. They come in various forms:
- Creams: Often used for localized infections.
- Gels: Can be useful for oily skin types.
- Lotions: Suitable for larger areas or hairy skin.
- Solutions: Easy to apply and can penetrate the skin well.
- Shampoos: While less common for the face, medicated shampoos with antifungal properties may be prescribed in some cases.
Oral Antifungal Medications
In some situations, a doctor may prescribe oral antifungal medication.
Important Note: Always consult with a healthcare professional for diagnosis and treatment recommendations. Self-treating can be harmful.
