Fungal Skin Infection
If patches appear on the skin that itch, peel, or change color and do not improve over time, it could be a fungal infection. It is a condition caused by fungi that grow on the skin, favored by moisture and heat, and it can affect different areas of the body.
Common symptoms:
- Redness, scaling, or itching
- Patches with well-defined borders
- In skin folds, moisture and a foul odor
Factors that favor it: excessive sweating, humid environments, closed shoes worn for long periods, and contact with contaminated surfaces.
Which specialist treats it? A dermatologist identifies the type of fungus and guides its care; when it affects the feet, a podiatrist can also help. If the lesions persist or spread, it is advisable to have them checked by a professional for appropriate management.
