The best way to deal with skin fungus is to take a holistic approach, incorporating healthy lifestyle habits and topical remedies.

First and foremost, it’s important to understand the root cause of the problem. Skin fungus can be caused by anything from poor hygiene, stress levels, hormonal imbalances, diabetes or simply from exposure to environments where allergens are present. In order for any treatment plan to be effective, it’s essential that you identify what has triggered your condition in the first place and strive towards eliminating those factors as much as possible.

From a lifestyle perspective, practicing good hygiene is a major factor in avoiding fungal infections on the skin. This includes showering regularly and washing away accumulated dirt or sweat; ensuring clothes remain clean; wearing breathable fabrics such as cotton which allow air circulation on affected areas; using antibacterial soaps when bathing; using antifungal foot powder if you have athletes foot; keeping nails trimmed short and filing them carefully after bathing; changing socks regularly - especially when participating in sweaty activities like running or playing sports – etc., are all things you can do daily (or multiple times per day if necessary) that will help combat fungi growth around your body.

On top of this everyday regime of prevention methods there are also natural topical remedies available for fighting skin fungi outright: Indian lilac (neem), turmeric paste/oil mixtures with garlic oil extract for more stubborn cases due its anti-microbial properties – both applied topically twice daily until improvement is noticed - oregano essential oil diluted with olive oil applied directly over spots once-twice daily is another remedy which helps fight off the fungus from underneath via direct contact along with tea tree essential oils which contain powerful anti-fungal compounds known as terpenes . Additionally mixing raw apple cider vinegar in equal quantities of warm water may also prove helpful since acetic acid has been shown to aid in reducing fungal infections on our bodies 3 . Lastly Vitamin D supplementation may also come into play here since vitamins A&D have been proven time and again their ability to aide us humans combat common issues linked to our well being & health 4 . Such supplements would need approval by your doctor before you begin usage though!

All these measures taken together should lead anyone suffering from skin fungal issues towards full recovery given enough time & patience!
