What causes fungal infection on face?
As an introductory note, let’s review some of the reasons that have often been forgotten to explaining why fungal infections on face appear. In some cases, fungal infections may be due to a low immune system, as the body may not be strong enough to deal with internal aggressions. This can happen when there is a vitamin deficiency in the body (find out how you can strengthen your immune system).
Another cause of fungal infection on face that is rarely discussed is related to acidosis. Acidosis is an excessive acid condition in the body fluids and/or tissues because of renal gland malfunction. It is partially due to eating disorders and nutrition imbalance. As a result, the body is producing a reaction as a signal, which may create a yeast infection on face.
Yeast Infections on face may occur due to a very special fungus named Dermatophytes also known as ringworm and tinea faciel (facial ringworm).
Fungal face infections may also be transmitted by direct contact with people who already have fungal infection on face or infected dead skin that can be anywhere humans go such as bed linens, combs, caps, bathrooms, locker rooms, towels and many other items in direct or indirect contact with face.
Warm and humid conditions can increase susceptibility to infection in damaged skin such as burns, scars and wounds.
