The right drug for each of the germs could be different. Treatment may also vary for the same fungal infection but the infected part of the body is different. People living in tropical countries like Indonesia more easily infected skin fungus. This is caused by high humidity and hot temperatures so favorable for fungal growth.
In the area of human skin moist mushrooms easily flourish. Groin, around the release, groin, lower abdomen area, the outer genitals, between toes, skin folds, under the folds of the breast, the armpit or in the folds of the buttocks is the easy part of the body moist. This situation will certainly invite the growth of fungi. In addition, certain parts are not drained completely every time out shower. Those who work with the many uses of water, a particular body part more often in humid conditions. However, a yeast infection can only attack the skin on other parts of the body, especially on hairy parts of the body such as sideburns, beards, mustaches and including the head. Treatment of fungal infections in this section is more difficult than others. The possibility of fungal infection is also greater in patients with diabetes, have had previous skin infections, or extra weight.
Transmission of yeast infection can occur easily from one person to another. People who love to swim and those who like to practice for fitness will most likely contracted from another person in the same group. Transmission can also occur when contact with towels, mattress, shoes, makeup tools and other personal items that have been contaminated by a fungus on the skin of their owners. Pets such as cats, dogs, and others can also play a role in transmission. Just like cosmetic tools, tools that are used to cut or shave the hair is also a possible source of transmission of infection on the scalp, mustache, beard, sideburns, eyebrows, and eyelashes. Transmission from husband to wife or vice versa is possible.
Prevention is more important than treatment. So that we are not easily infected with the fungus, then we have to pay attention and maintain healthy skin by keeping the skin clean and dry. Avoid exchanging or sharing personal tools such as towels, clothing, or comb with others. Should bathe twice a day. Rinse the body thoroughly immediately after swimming in a public pool.

The underwear should be changed every day. Fitness training tools should be wiped with a dry cloth before use. Do not let the parts of the body is in a state of moist longer. Dry the body and replace wet or damp clothing immediately after work. Immediately clean and dry the body after exercise. If necessary give talcum powder. Pets are exposed to skin infections should be treated immediately. The risk of fungal infections can also occur in the use of certain drugs. These medications include: certain antibiotics, steroid hormones, and drugs that can lower the immune system.
Yeast infection treatment failure often occurs as a result of the perception by the patient on the treatment of fungal infections. Clinical experts often give medication to relieve itching. When the drug is given for a yeast infection for a week, for example, are often accompanied by itching painkillers. The itching will soon disappear, and usually have a lot of improvements so that the patient is cured assume, then stop the treatment. This condition causes of treatment failure. Actually, the disease has not completely cured. Infection is widening and getting worse. Infectious fungus becomes resistant and certainly require further treatment is stronger.

These drugs may increase the growth of mold precisely to grow more lush. In addition there are also some people who think small fungal infections caused by witchcraft. If this is the case, then the treatment would be futile and increasingly short of expectations.
Yeast infection treatment takes longer and is more difficult than to infection by bacteria. The use of drugs to cure the infection must be right, right dose, right distance gift, appropriate length of treatment, appropriate and how to use others. Treatment failure can happen if they do not pay attention to some of these problems. In addition to the disease is not cured, but otherwise not only will further spread and get worse, but the bacteria will be immune. Treating diseases should not try. Before using this medication causes the infection must be known in advance. Duration of treatment at least 2-6 weeks, until symptoms actually disappeared and was hard to tell which part of the skin where the sick and the healthy. Remember, the treatment must continue, must not be interrupted!
Duration of treatment for the infection is not the same for different locations. Fungal infections in the armpit or groin is not the same as the common fungal infection of the nails of fingers and different for toenail infections. Fit the length of treatment may be an infection 2 weeks to 6 months, even a year and a half continuously without stopping! For the latter needs to control unwanted side effects and possible liver damage (hepatoksik).
