Fungal skin infections are caused by yeasts (Candida sp) or dermatophytes (Epidermophyton, Microsporum, and Trichophyton spp).
Dermatophytoses are fungal infections of keratin in the skin and nails (nail infection is called tinea unguium). Onychomycosis is fungal infection of the nail plate, nail bed, or both.
Symptoms and signs vary by site of infection. Diagnosis is by clinical appearance and by examination of skin scraping on potassium hydroxide wet mount. Treatment varies by site but always involves topical or oral antifungal drugs.
Candidiasis (moniliasis) is skin infection with Candida sp, most commonly Candida albicans. Infections can occur anywhere and are most common in skinfolds and web spaces, on the penis, and around fingernails. Symptoms and signs vary by site. Diagnosis is by clinical appearance and potassium hydroxide wet mount of skin scrapings. Treatment is with drying agents and antifungals.
