What are the common causes of fungal infections on the skin?
Fungal infections on the skin are typically caused by an overgrowth of fungi on the surface of the skin. Factors that can contribute to this include a weakened immune system, humid weather conditions, poor hygiene, wearing tight-fitting clothes or shoes, and sharing personal items like towels or combs with others who have the infection. Certain areas of the body, such as the feet, groin, and armpits, are more prone to fungal infections due to their warm and moist environments.
What are some common symptoms of a fungal skin infection?
If you have a fungal skin infection, you may experience symptoms such as irritation, scaly skin, redness, itching, swelling, and blisters. These symptoms can occur in various areas of the body and may be more severe in some individuals than others.
