fungal infections
Spore-triggered skin problems
Fungal infections are conditions caused by fungi—organisms like yeasts, molds, and mushrooms—that invade and grow in body tissues.
Common examples include athlete's foot, ringworm, and yeast infections, which typically affect the skin, nails, or mucous membranes.
Most are superficial and treatable with antifungal medications, though infections can become serious in people with weakened immune systems.
