What is a fungal skin infection
A fungal skin infection (mycosis) can take various forms on the skin. It usually appears as reddish patches with scaling, often in the armpits and the genital area. However, brownish or whitish patches may also occur, for example on the upper body. Another form is nail fungus, which often manifests itself with brittle, discoloured or thickened nails.
