Can a hand fungus spread to your hair, food, or any other place your body?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: Hand fungus, on the skin of the hand or fingers, can also grow on similar skin on the body, arms, legs, feet, and face. Fungus in the scalp, in the hair follicles, may be a different species. Fungus under the nails may be a different species, too.
