Diseases caused by microscopic organisms - fungi (incorrectly “molds”) - belong among the most common skin infections and studies show an increasing trend in their occurrence. Dermatomycoses are fungal infections which affect the skin, nails, or hair. Even though the best practices state that naming an infection should be based on identified trigger, the Latin word “tinea” followed by the area of the body (e.g. tinea unguium, tinea pedis) is used more frequently.
