Fungal infection is a very common occurrence. Fungal infection between the toes is commonly called "athlete's foot". Fungal infection of the groin is commonly called "jock itch". Fungal infection may also occur on the penis and/or foreskin and is called fungal balanitis, fungal posthitis or fungal balanoposthitis. It is also known medically as mycosis.[1]
When fungal infection occurs in the mouth, it is called thrush.[2]
Fungal infection of the toenails also is common and is called Onychomycosis. The infected toenail becomes thickened and discolored.
Fungal infection commonly presents with a rash, itching, and/or small cracks in the skin.
