Fungus and Parasites

Specialized Care for Skin Infections in New Jersey
Fungal and parasitic infections of the skin are common and can range from mild irritation to more persistent, uncomfortable conditions. While many of these issues are not dangerous, they can be contagious and disruptive if left untreated. At Skin & Laser Center of NJ, our board-certified dermatologists diagnose and treat fungal and parasitic infections with precision, offering relief from symptoms while preventing recurrence. From athlete’s foot to scabies, we provide customized care plans to help patients across New Jersey restore their skin.

Athlete's Foot

Athlete’s foot is a contagious fungal infection that typically develops between the toes, causing itching, redness, scaling, and sometimes painful cracks in the skin. It thrives in warm, damp environments like locker rooms or tight footwear. At Skin & Laser Center of NJ, we provide effective treatments for athlete’s foot, including antifungal creams, oral medications, and preventative strategies to keep the infection from returning.

Toenail Fungus

Toenail fungus, also known as onychomycosis, causes nails to become thickened, discolored, brittle, and difficult to manage. This condition often develops slowly and can be resistant to over-the-counter remedies. Our dermatologists offer advanced treatment options, including prescription oral antifungals, medicated nail lacquers, and laser therapies, to clear the infection and restore healthier-looking nails.

Tinea Versicolor

Tinea versicolor is a fungal infection that interferes with normal skin pigmentation, creating lighter or darker patches that may be more noticeable after sun exposure. Though not harmful, it can be cosmetically frustrating and may recur without proper care. At Skin & Laser Center of NJ, we treat tinea versicolor with prescription topical or oral antifungal medications, helping to restore even skin tone and prevent future outbreaks.

Scabies

Scabies is a parasitic skin infestation caused by tiny mites that burrow beneath the skin, leading to intense itching and a red, bumpy rash. Because it spreads easily through close contact, prompt treatment is essential. Our dermatologists at Skin & Laser Center of NJ diagnose scabies quickly and provide effective prescription treatments to eliminate the mites. We also educate patients on steps to prevent reinfestation and protect family members or close contacts.
