Numerous people get a fungus infection at some point in their life. A warm temperature, humidity, and poor hygiene are all potential contributors to fungal infections. Some typical fungal infections include oral thrush, jock itch, diaper rash, and athlete's foot. Although it goes by the term "ringworm," this is actually a fungus, not a worm, and it is one of the most prevalent fungal infections in people.
Due to the moist, damp climate and lack of fresh air, fungi that are typically present on practically everyone's skin can spread and grow uncontrollably, which contributes to the prevalence of athletes' foot and jock itch.
