Fungal infection of the skin is an infectious disease caused by fungi. Fungi are a class of eukaryotic organisms that widely exist in nature. Fungal infection of the skin is mainly caused by Trichophyton rubrum, Trichophyton mentatus, Trichophyton verrucosum, Microsporum canis, etc. The occurrence of this disease can be transmitted directly or indirectly, and can also be formed by the spread of infections such as hands, feet, and onychomycosis. Fungi thrive in warm, humid environments, so infections such as fingers, toes, groin, and perineum are common.
