An itchy rash, flaky skin, discoloration, and general discomfort. These are the usual signs and symptoms of a fungal skin infection. Infections usually occur in moist, sweaty areas of the body because as fungi, those are the conditions they love.

And while lotions and moisturizers can help to soothe, they may end up exacerbating the infection by keeping the area moist. I would recommend this Homemade Anti-Fungal Salve instead, which will still prevent the skin from drying out but without excessive moisture.

But what should go in an antifungal salve? Well, there’s plenty of research into essential oils (EOs) and their effectiveness against skin infections, and when combined with beeswax and oil, it can make a soothing antifungal salve.

Most skin fungal infections can reach the third layer of skin. This means the salve must contain appropriate carrier oils and penetration enhancers in addition to compounds that will disrupt and inhibit a broad range of fungi. This is why essential oils (EOs) are crucial for this remedy. You can still infuse dried plant matter into your carrier oil, but this remedy calls for the potency of EOs. EOs can disrupt the cell membrane and walls of fungi which eventually makes them permeable to other compounds which then changes the pH and damages them. EOs also stop fungi from producing the energy they need to survive and multiply.
