1. What is a fungal infection?
Fungi enter the skin and spreads to tissues, bones and other organs, causing fungal infection. It is characterised by itching with eruptions.
2. What parts of the body can be affected by fungal infections?
The fungal infection can affect any organ of the body through the skin. The common regions are skin (as ringworm), toes (athletes toes), vagina (candidiasis), inner thighs, groin, buttocks and inside of the mouth and lungs.
3. How do fungal infections spread?
Fungal spores present in the air and soil, when inhaled or contacted on the skin, can spread infections. They also spread from skin-to-skin contact. Fungi multiply in warm, moist areas.
4. How will the doctor diagnose this condition?
A fungal infection can be diagnosed based on the physical examination of the location and the eruptions on the skin. Alternatively, a doctor can also take scrapings from the skin and analyse it under the microscope for confirmation. Patient history can also help determine the source of fungal infection.
5. Is treatment available for fungal infections?
The treatment for fungal infections includes applying antifungal ointments and creams on the affected area. In some severe cases that do not respond to ointments, oral antifungal medicines are also given.
