“Sihuli” commonly refers to fungal infection (tinea) or heat/aggravated skin infection, which tends to flare in hot and humid weather due to sweating and moisture.
Next Steps
• Keep affected areas clean and completely dry
• Use antifungal dusting powder in sweaty areas
• Wear loose cotton clothes, avoid tight/synthetic fabric
Helpful Tips / Word of Caution:
• Avoid steroid-containing creams (they worsen fungal infections)
• Do not stop treatment early—even if symptoms improve
• Wash clothes/towels regularly and keep them dry
• Recurrent cases may need evaluation for diabetes or low immunity
You can consult online with me via practo for detailed evaluation and treatment
