Epidermophyton

Epidermophyton is a type of fungus that can cause skin infections. It often leads to conditions like athlete's foot, ringworm, or fungal toenail infections. These fungi thrive in warm, moist environments, such as locker rooms or showers, and infect the outer layer of the skin, nails, and sometimes the groin area. Infection symptoms may include itching, redness, peeling, or thickened skin. Treatment typically involves antifungal medications, either topical creams or oral medicines, depending on the severity. Good hygiene and keeping skin dry help prevent these infections.
