What are the kinds of fungal infection?
There are many varieties but the most common are tinea, athlete’s foot, jock itch, and candida. Tinea is also known as ringworm and affects a person’s nails, hair, and skin. Athlete’s foot is the severe itching and scaling of the skin between the toes and at the bottom of the feet. This is common in sports people who are very active and sweat a lot, hence the name. Jock itch refers to the infection in the groin area while candida is the infection that is commonly found in the mouth and the vagina.
