- 1). Use antifungal treatment. Doctors will prescribe creams, drugs or lotions that are antifungal and will help clear the mold and mildew from your body. The treatment and strength will depend on the intensity of exposure to the mold and mildew.
- 2). Keep dry, and sanitize, depending on which part of your body has been affected. If you sweat a lot, try anti-perspiring deodorants and powders. Antifungal powders can be applied as well to ensure that your body remains dry. After taking a bath, apply rubbing alcohol or hydrogen peroxide to the affected body part and then apply the antifungal.
- 3). Use inhalers or antihistamines. Mold and mildew are very stubborn strains of fungi and can recur. The best treatment is prevention, which can be done by first treating the mold and mildew allergies through antihistamines and inhalation steroids, then using dehumidifiers to ensure the infection doesn't return.
- 4). Consider alternative therapies for getting rid of mold and mildew on the body. These include the use of tea tree oil and oregano oil. These two oils should be applied topically to the area of contamination with a cotton ball and reapplied until the condition is cured.
- 5). Use natural treatments, utilizing apple cider vinegar. Apply or soak apple cider vinegar liberally to the infected body part three times a day, then apply an antifungal powder. This will help the mold and mildew be removed quickly; the vinegar acts as an antiseptic and drying agent.
