PATHOLOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -Fungi are ubiquitous eukaryotic microorganisms found in the environment in association with soil, animals, faeces, water, plant debris or other surfaces.

Detailed explanation-2: -Athlete’s foot is typically characterized by skin fissures or scales that can be red and itchy. Tinea pedis is spread through contact with infected skin scales or contact with fungi in damp areas (for example, showers, locker rooms, swimming pools) 1.

Detailed explanation-3: -In cutaneous candidiasis, the skin is infected with candida fungi. This type of infection is fairly common. It can involve almost any skin on the body, but most often it occurs in warm, moist, creased areas such as the armpits and groin. The fungus that most often causes cutaneous candidiasis is Candida albicans.
