Itch is an unpleasant sensation that leads to scratching or rubbing. The terms ‘itch’ and ‘pruritus’ are synonymous; however, ‘pruritus’ is often used when itch is generalised. Itch can arise from primary cutaneous disease or from systemic disease, which may cause itch by central or peripheral mechanisms.
FUNGAL SKIN INFECTION
Fungal skin infections can be superficial or, less commonly, deep the latter are more often seen in tropical climates or in the immunocompromised. Dermatophyte infections (ringworm) are extremely common and usually caused by fungi of the Microsporum, Trichophyton and Epidermophyton species. The fungi can originate from soil (geophilic) or animals (zoophilic), or be confined to human skin.
