Fungal Infection
About Fungal Infection
Fungal infections, also known as mycoses, are caused by fungi that invade and grow on or within the body. Fungi are diverse microorganisms found in various environments, including soil, plants, and human skin. While some fungi are harmless or even beneficial, others can cause infections under certain conditions.
Types of Fungal Infections
Fungal infections can affect different parts of the body and vary in severity. Some common types of fungal infections include:
Athlete’s Foot (Tinea Pedis): This fungal infection typically affects the feet, particularly between the toes, and is characterized by itching, redness, and peeling skin.
Ringworm (Tinea Corporis): Despite its name, ringworm is not caused by a worm but by a fungus. It can affect the skin on various parts of the body, causing circular, red, and scaly patches.
Yeast Infections: Yeast infections are caused by an overgrowth of yeast, most commonly Candida species. They can occur in various parts of the body, including the mouth (oral thrush), genitals (vaginal yeast infection), and skin folds (intertrigo).
Nail Fungus (Onychomycosis): Nail fungus infects the toenails or fingernails, causing them to become discolored, thickened, and brittle.
Fungal Sinusitis: Fungal sinusitis is an inflammation of the sinuses caused by fungal infection. It can result in nasal congestion, facial pain, and sinus headaches.
