Cutaneous fungal infections, commonly known as dermatomycoses, are prevalent skin disorders caused by various fungi. Dermatophytes, such as Trichophyton, Microsporum, and Epidermophyton species, are major culprits in conditions like ringworm, athlete's foot, and jock itch. These infections thrive in warm and humid environments and often present with red, itchy, and scaly skin lesions. Candida species, typically found in mucocutaneous areas, can cause infections like oral thrush and diaper rash, especially in immunocompromised individuals. Treatment for cutaneous fungal infections involves antifungal medications, both topical and oral, depending on the severity and extent of the infection. Proper hygiene practices, keeping the skin dry, and avoiding shared personal items are essential preventive measures. Despite being generally manageable, untreated or severe cases can lead to chronic conditions and complications, underscoring the importance of early intervention.
