Fungal Infection
Book AppointmentFungal infections are common infections caused by microscopic fungi that can affect the skin, nails, scalp, and, in some cases, the mouth or genital area. They are more likely to develop in warm, moist areas of the body, such as between the toes, in the groin, or under the nails.
Fungal infections can cause symptoms such as itching, redness, flaking, or changes in the appearance of the skin or nails. Although anyone can develop a fungal infection, the risk is higher in people with weakened immune systems, diabetes, or other underlying health conditions.
