How does fungal infection occur?

 Fungal infection can occur when the skin is broken and the fungus enters the body. The fungus can also enter the body through the nose, mouth, or vagina.

Fungi are present everywhere in our environment, and most of the time they do not cause any harm. However, if a person's immune system is weakened, fungal infections can develop. Fungal infections can also occur in people who have diabetes or who are receiving chemotherapy.
