Fungal infections can affect any region of your body’s skin. Fungal infections include athlete’s foot, ringworm, and intertrigo rashes. Fortunately, these infections are frequently treatable, and our clinicians will be able to explain what you can do to prevent them from recurring. It is very common to develop fungal infections on the folds of the skin (e.g. under breasts) and public places are the main place you can become infected.
