Fungal Infections
Fungal skin infections can be itchy and annoying but barely serious. Common infections such as athlete’s foot, jock itch, and ringworm are caused by fungus and are easy to get and pass around. These typically infect the top layer of the skin on your body, scalp, groin, or feet.
Types:
Tinea Versicolor
Also known as Pityriasis Versicolor, it is a fungal infection of the top layer of the skin.
Jock Itch
It is a fungal infection of the skin in the groin.
Athlete’s Foot

A fungal nail infection is caused by a fungal infection in the part of the toe that makes the nail. As the nail grows out, it becomes brittle, thickens, and separates from the nail bed.
