The fungal infections are caused due to moisture, wearing wet denims for a long time and constant friction against skin.
“There are two kinds of fungal infections - Ringworm infection which starts as a small portion and spreads in a ring form. It commonly occurs in the sole of the feet, armpits and behind the ears. Pityriasis versicolor shows as light coloured or black coloured patches on arms, chest or back,” he explained.
Talathi said that diabetic patients are more prone to such infections. But it's advisable that everyone takes precautions.
