Fungal Infection
Fungal infections can affect mucous membranes, skin, fingernails and toenails or internal organs. Most common are skin ailments including "jock itch" and athlete's foot. Any area that is itchy, moist, and red may be a sign of a fungal infection. Some of the other most common types of fungal infections include oral thrush, which is an infection inside the mouth; candida infection of the nipples, which causes severe pain while breastfeeding; and ringworm, which is characterized by round, red itchy spots on the skin. If fungal infections are recurrent, there may be a problem with a depressed immune system. People most at risk for developing a fungal infection are those with a pre-existing illness such as diabetes, AIDS and cancer.
