Most people do their best to take care of their Hydralyft Review skin simply for the sake of looks. After all, there is an old phrase that says beauty is only skin deep, but other than just appearance, there are plenty of health benefits to taking proper care of your skin. Our skin covers our entire body, so it is absolutely essential to our health, but even the most healthy people will likely have some sort of skin problems in their life. This article will cover one of the most common skin issues. One of the most common and main causes of skin health problems are fungal infections.
There are several forms of fungal infections. Dermatophytes can cause common skin, nail, and even hair problems, and they are sometimes known as "ringworm." Ringworm usually attacks humans with weakened immune systems. Ringworms are also known as dermatophytosis. The chances of getting ringworm is higher for people who engage in contact sports and don't immediately take a shower afterward. Athletes who spend much time training in sweaty gyms, such as wrestlers who train on mats all day, are at a high risk. This is why it is so important to make sure you have a clean gym or training area, and not share personal equipment with others.
Although ringworm infection is classified as superficial because it only exists on the surface of skin, but don't get the wrong idea when you hear the word "superficial." Even though it isn't fatal, it is a bad illness that causes people to endure physical pain, and also emotional stress due to it being a contagious disease and other people might not want to be around them. There is a common misconception among a lot of people that believe ringworm in humans is caused by actual worms, and that it always presents itself in a circle-shaped rash area.
In fact, ringworm is not from any kind of worms, but from the dermatophyte fungus mentioned earlier, and it comes in different forms. There are different types of ringworm in humans. Our scalps are vulnerable to a form of ringworm called "Tinea capitis" which is most common in children. "Tinea Corporis" is a common ringworm found on human legs and arms, and it appears as a circle-like patch. On the feet, ringworm is known as "Tinea pedis" or more commonly called athlete's foot. The fungus that causes athlete's foot lives best in damp, moist environments, and is highly contagious through contact with surfaces where others have been. Tinea Unguium is a form of ringworm that spreads to the fingernails or toenails and usually caused by athlete's foot, bad fitting shoes, and/or diabetes.
