These fungal infections can cause reddening, peeling, blistering, and scaling of the skin, itching, deformation and brittleness of affected nails, and brittle hair. • • They are caused by dermatophytes, a group of fungi that includes Trichophyton, Microsporum, and Epidermophyton species. Dermatophytes feed on keratin and rarely penetrate below the skin. Infections caused by these fungi are also commonly called ringworm (although they are not caused by a worm) and tinea. • • • Athlete's foot (tinea pedis) is found between the toes and sometimes covers the bottom of the foot. • • Jock itch (tinea cruris) may extend from the groin to the inner thigh. • • Scalp and hair infection (tinea capitis) affects hair shaft, primarily in children. • • Finger or toenail infection (tinea unguium) typically affects toenails but may also affect fingernails. • • Ringworm of the body (tinea corporis) can be found anywhere on the body. • • Barber's itch (tinea barbae) affects the bearded portion of the face. • • Others • Tinea versicolor is associated with multicolored patches or lesions on the skin and is caused not by a dermatophyte, but by Malassezia furfur, a yeast. It is a condition that is common in young adults. Sporotrichosis is a condition caused by the fungus Sporothrix schenckii, which is not a dermatophyte. It is an infection of the skin and subcutaneous tissue that has been abraided by thorny plants, pine needles, and sphagnum moss where this fungus normally resides. • • http://www.balancedhealthtoday.com/blog/ • http://www.balancedhealthtoday.com/Li...
