What is a Fungal Infection?
Fungal infections occur when harmful fungi invade the body, particularly affecting the skin, nails, and internal organs. These infections can be mild or severe, depending on the type and the individual’s immune response. Common fungal infections include ringworm, candidiasis, and athlete’s foot. They can spread through direct contact with infected individuals, contaminated objects, or environmental sources. Some fungal infections can become chronic if left untreated. Identifying symptoms early and seeking professional care ensures effective management and prevention of complications.
