Fungal Infections

A fungal infection also called as mycosis is a skin disease caused by fungus. In recent times, the incidence of fungal infections has increased due to genetic mutations and resistance to anti fungal medications.

Causes

  1. Humid conditions, more perspiration, tight garments, poor hygiene.
  2. Immunosuppressive conditions like steroid abuse, diabetes, HIV and obesity.
  3. Contact with infected pets.

Presentation:

It typically presents as erythematous, scaly, pruritic, annular plaques with central clearing.

Treatment:

Treatment of fungal infections includes a comprehensive approach of using topical anti fungals (gels/lotions/creams) in cases with limited area of involvement and as an adjuvant with oral antifungals in extensive cases.
