Antifungal

What is Antifungal?

Fungi are all around us. Their microscopic spores can be found on the ground and in the air. Most of these fungi are harmless, however certain types can cause serious infections in some people. AntiFungal infections can occur anywhere in your body but most commonly, they begin on your skin. Most may cause some discomfort, such as redness and itching on the skin, but they may be easily treated with over-the-counter or prescription medications. Sometimes these skin infections do not heal though and they worsen, possibly triggering sepsis. When a fungus is inhaled and enters your body or is introduced into your body in another way, the risk of infection rises, especially if you have an impaired immune system. People with impaired immune systems are more likely to develop sepsis with fungal infections than people with normal immune systems.
