Fungal Infections

Fungal infections occur when fungi overgrow on the skin or within the body, often due to weakened immunity, antibiotics, or humid conditions. The most common types of fungal infections include athlete’s foot, ringworm, and candidiasis. Its symptoms vary but generally involve itching, redness, and skin rashes. Its treatment includes antifungal creams for skin infections or oral antifungal medication for more widespread cases. Good hygiene, dry skin, and avoiding contact with infected surfaces are essential for preventing fungal infections, which can recur if not managed effectively.

Candidiasis

Candidiasis is a fungal infection caused by an overgrowth of Candida, a type of yeast that naturally lives on the skin and in parts of the body. The infection typically affects the vagina, mouth, throat, and oesophagus, but it can spread to other parts of the body if left untreated. Various factors, such as a weakened immune system, poor hygiene, hormonal changes, and the use of certain medications, can lead to an imbalance in Candida growth.
