Fungal Infection

Fungal infections, also known as mycoses, are common worldwide and can affect various parts of the body, including the skin, nails, and internal organs.

These infections occur when fungi enter the body and multiply, causing symptoms such as itching, redness, inflammation, and in some cases, pain.

There are different types of fungal infections depending on the species involved, with candidiasis and dermatophytosis being among the most prevalent ones.

Risk factors for developing a fungal infection include a weakened immune system, prolonged use of antibiotics or steroids, poor hygiene practices, or living in warm and humid environments.

Treatment options vary depending on the severity and location of the infection but may include topical antifungal creams or oral medications.

It is essential to seek proper medical diagnosis and treatment to prevent complications or recurrent infections associated with fungal pathogens.
