Nigeria's heat and humidity make fungal infections a permanent feature of life: ringworm on children's scalps, athlete's foot in enclosed shoes, candida infections that follow every course of strong antibiotics. Fluconazole is the versatile oral option — a single capsule handles most vaginal thrush — while clotrimazole creams do the steady topical work for skin and nail infections.

Fungal problems are slow to clear and quick to return if treatment stops at 'looks better'. Skin creams generally need one to two weeks beyond visible clearing, and recurrent thrush (four or more episodes a year) is a pattern worth investigating — sometimes it is the first visible sign of undiagnosed diabetes rather than bad luck.
