What Are Superficial Fungal Infections?
Superficial fungal infections attack tissues on the surface of the body, which include the skin, nails, or hair. Some common examples are ringworm, athlete’s foot, jock itch, and yeast infections. Candida yeast * infections are usually found on the skin, in the mouth, in the vagina, on the head of the penis, or around the nails. Superficial fungal infections are somewhat contagious and pass from person to person through direct contact or, less commonly, through clothes or contact with surfaces of other objects in the environment.
