What are Fungal Skin Infections?
Fungal skin infections usually affect your skin because they live off keratin, a protein that makes up your skin, hair and nails.The symptoms of a fungal skin infection will depend on the type of fungus causing it and the part of your body affected. Fungal skin infections can cause rashes with a variety of different appearances. Some are red, scaly and itchy. Others may produce a fine scale, similar to dry skin. The fungus can affect just one area or several areas of your body.
For skin and nail infections, you can apply medicine like Generic Lamisil Cream (Terbicip Cream) directly to the infected area.
