Damage to the dermis by yeast-like fungi can develop both independently and against the background of primary infection. The features of the current, the depth of penetration and the area of the lesion focus largely depend on the inadequacy of skin barriers, as well as the lack of immune responses. Factors-provocateurs are mechanical damage to the skin (burns, abrasions, sweating, etc.), metabolic disorders and other serious illnesses (tumors, blood diseases, immunodeficiency of the first and second degree).

The following zones of skin lesions are distinguished by a yeast fungus:

• large creases on the body;
• between the toes / hands;
• out of stock.
