What is Candidial/Fungal Infection (Ringworm)?

Candidial or fungal infections, commonly referred to as ringworm, are caused by dermatophytes or Candida species that infect the skin, nails, or scalp. They typically present as red, circular, itchy rashes with raised borders and may cause scaling or hair loss in affected areas.

Causes & Risk Factors

  • Fungal Infection – Dermatophytes (tinea) or Candida species infect skin, nails, or scalp.

  • Warm & Humid Environment – Promotes fungal growth.

  • Poor Hygiene – Increases susceptibility.

  • Direct Contact – With infected people, pets, or contaminated surfaces.

  • Sweating – Excess moisture favors fungal proliferation.

  • Weakened Immunity – Diabetes, chronic illness, or immune suppression.

  • Sharing Personal Items – Towels, clothing, or shoes.
