Fungi are tiny organisms found just about everywhere, including on the human body.7 If your skin comes into contact with a harmful type of fungus, or if too much of a fungal yeast builds up on your skin, you can develop a fungal skin infection.4,8 Some of these infections may be passed from person to person.4,9
DID YOU KNOW? Anyone can get a fungal infection.7 Superficial fungal infections of the skin affect 20–25% of people around the world!10 |

DID YOU KNOW? Some other antifungal creams are made with fungistatic ingredients, which reduce fungal growth but don’t actually kill the fungus.11,12,18 Because Terbane® cream is fungicidal, it kills the fungi causing the infection, rather than just inhibiting their growth.1,12,14 |
