Tinea Versicolor

Tinea versicolor (also known as “Dermatomycosis furfuracea,” “Pityriasis versicolor,” and “Tinea flava”) is a condition characterized by a rash on the trunk and proximal extremities. Recent research has shown that the majority of pityriasis versicolor is caused by Malassezia globosa, although M. furfur is responsible for a small number of cases. These yeasts are normally found on the human skin and only become troublesome under certain circumstances, such as a warm and humid environment, although the exact conditions that cause initiation of the disease process are poorly understood.

Nail Fungus (Onychomycosis)

Onychomycosis (also known as “Dermatophytic onychomycosis,” “Ringworm of the nail,” and “Tinea unguium”) means fungal infection of the nail. It is the most common disease of the nails and constitutes about a half of all nail abnormalities.
This condition may affect toenails or fingernails, but toenail infections are particularly common. The prevalence of onychomycosis is about 6-8% in the adult population. Onychomycosis caused by dermatophytes is also known as tinea unguium (tinea of the nails)

Jock Itch (Tinea cruris)

Tinea cruris, also known as crotch itch, crotch rot, Eczema marginatum, Gym itch, jock itch, and Ringworm of the groin in American English and dhobi itch or scrot rot in British English, is a dermatophyte fungal infection of the groin region in either sex, though more often seen in males.

Athlete’s Foot

Athlete’s foot (also known as ringworm of the foot and tinea pedis) is a fungal infection of the skin that causes scaling, flaking, and itch of affected areas. It is typically transmitted in moist areas where people walk barefoot, such as showers or bathhouses. Although the condition typically affects the feet, it can spread to other areas of the body, including the groin. Athlete’s foot can be prevented by good hygiene, and is treated by a number of pharmaceutical and other treatments.
