Mycoses

Mycoses are fungal infections that can affect various parts of the body, such as the skin, nails, respiratory system, or internal organs. They occur when fungi invade and grow in tissues, often causing symptoms like redness, itching, discomfort, or skin changes. Factors like warm, moist environments, weakened immune systems, or skin injuries can increase the risk of developing mycoses. Treatment typically involves antifungal medications, which can be topical or oral, depending on the infection's severity. Proper hygiene and avoiding environmental sources of fungi help prevent these infections.
