A dermatomycosis is a skin disease caused by a fungus. Most dermatomycoses are mild and resolve without treatment, but many are treated clinically with topical antifungal medicines. Oral antifungals are also an option for treatment.
One of the most frequent forms is dermatophytosis (ringworm, tinea) which includes tinea pedis, also known as athlete's foot. Another example is cutaneous candidiasis. These fungal infections impair superficial layers of the skin, hair and nails.
