There are the following types of fungal infections: • Dermatophytosis caused by pathogens of the genus Tinea – ringworm of the feet (athlete’s foot), scalp, groin and thighs, skin of the chin and upper lip (dermatomycosis of the beard and mustache), as well as those caused by the causative agent of pityriasis versicolor . The main symptoms are itching, peeling and rash. • Candidiasis caused by yeast-like fungi of the genus Candida: fungal skin rash and thrush. The lesion can develop anywhere on the body, but most often occurs where skin areas rub against each other, namely in the folds under the breast, in the armpits, in the inguinal folds, on the skin and mucous membranes of the external genital organs (labia, extreme flesh and glans penis). The following symptoms are characteristic: constant burning and itching, soreness and various spots or plaques, as well as diaper rash and maceration. Factors such as excessive sweating, tight or synthetic clothing, hygiene products, bath additives can contribute to the development of a candidal infection. Fungi of the genus Candida can cause prickly heat in children. Symptoms of fungal prickly heat: red spots on the buttocks and genitals in children, burning and itching.
