📖What is Fungal Infection?
Fungal Infection refers to a broad category of infections caused by fungi that can affect the skin, nails, mucous membranes, or in more serious cases, internal organs and the bloodstream. Superficial fungal infections are extremely common and generally mild, thriving in warm, moist environments such as skin folds, while invasive fungal infections are far more serious and typically occur in people with weakened immune systems. India's hot, humid climate makes superficial fungal infections particularly widespread. Prompt treatment prevents spread and recurrence, which can be common without addressing predisposing factors.
