๐Ÿ“–What is Fungal Skin Infection?

Fungal Skin Infection encompasses a range of superficial infections caused by dermatophyte fungi and yeasts that invade the outer layers of the skin, hair, and nails, commonly known as ringworm, athlete's foot, or jock itch depending on location. These infections thrive in warm, moist environments and spread easily through direct skin contact or contact with contaminated surfaces like shared towels, footwear, or gym equipment. India's hot, humid climate contributes to a particularly high burden of recurrent fungal skin infections. While usually not serious, they can be persistent, itchy, and prone to recurrence without proper treatment.
