Deskripsi
Fungal infections are a common type of infection caused by fungi that can affect various parts of the body, including the skin, nails, and hair. Fungi are present in the environment and can enter the body through a variety of ways, such as cuts, scratches, or inhalation.
Common types of fungal infections include athlete's foot, ringworm, and nail fungus. Symptoms of fungal infection can vary depending on the type and location of the infection but may include itching, redness, swelling, and flaking or scaling of the affected area.
Fungal infections are typically diagnosed through a physical examination and laboratory tests, such as skin scrapings or nail clippings.
