Fungal skin infections are common dermatologic conditions caused by diverse types of fungi that affect the skin, nails, and hair. These infections can cause discomfort and can be highly contagious. Village Dermatology offers expert diagnosis and treatment to manage and eliminate fungal skin infections, helping you achieve healthy, clear skin.

Fungal skin infections occur when fungi invade the skin, leading to a host of symptoms such as redness, itching, and scaling. These skin infections can affect different body parts, including common areas such as feet, groin, scalp, and nails. The fungal skin infections thrive in warm, moist environments, making certain body areas more susceptible to infection.

• Athlete’s Foot (Tinea Pedis)
• Jock Itch (Tinea Cruris)
• Ringworm (Tinea Corporis)
• Scalp Ringworm (Tinea Capitis)
• Nail Fungus (Onychomycosis)

Diagnosing fungal skin infections typically involves a physical examination and a review of medical history. In some cases, a dermatologist may take a skin scraping, nail clipping, or hair sample to examine under a microscope or culture in a lab to confirm the diagnosis.
