The fungi that cause infections in humans are well known. The main culprits are dermatophytes which affect the skin and certain yeasts, such as Candida for vaginal yeast infection and Pityriasis versicolor which causes pigmented spots. But others less well known can also be rampant.
What is a yeast infection? The skin and the mucous membranes are host sites for many fungi. Normally harmless, these hosts take advantage of weaknesses in our immune system to sometimes become very invasive.
Depending on their location: mycoses can be superficial, cutaneous, subcutaneous or deep (generalized);
depending on their mode of transmission: the responsible agent can be endogenous (naturally present in the body) or exogenous (transmitted by the respiratory, cutaneous or transcutaneous route);
depending on their severity: most yeast infections are not serious (vaginal yeast infection, nail fungus, etc.) but fungal infections that occur in weakened people, especially in hospital, can be fatal.
This medication is recommended in the treatment of mycoses of the skin or nails (diseases due to fungi) superinfected or not by bacteria, and seborrheic dermatitis.
