What happens if i have a fungal infection on my fingers and touch this onto another part of my body will the fungus spread?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Possible but rare: Fungal infections can be acquired from animals or the environment like Ringworm ! others are from your own skin flora. Like candida intertrigo or yeast infections. Fungal organisms require a wet or humid environment normally. They are rarely transferred from one site to another.
