Jock Itch
Males are more likely to have this kind of infection that forms red, ring-like skin patches in the groin area, causing itch and pain.
Candidiasis
Candida causes yeast infection in this particular type. This fungus lives on the surfaces of the skin and inside the body, in sites like the mouth, throat, gut, and vaginal canal.
Rashes and irritation are visible on the skin, in the vaginal area, and in the digestive system. However, it can grow out of control in some circumstances.
People who live in or travel to particular locations are susceptible to these fungal skin infections. Some of which are:
- Blastomycosis
- Cryptococcus gatii infection
- Coccidioidomycosis (Valley Fever)
- Histoplasmosis
- Paracoccidiodomycosis
In addition to that, some may also weaken the immune system:
- Aspergillosis
- Cryptococcus neoformans infection
- Mucormycosis
- Talaromycosis
