The COVID-19 pandemic has heightened the prevalence of fungal infections, particularly among individuals with compromised immune systems or those undergoing prolonged treatments, such as steroids. Dermatologists have reported an increase in conditions like cutaneous candidiasis and mucormycosis, which can manifest as skin lesions, rashes, or necrosis. The interplay between COVID-19 and fungal infections is particularly concerning due to the potential for misdiagnosis, as symptoms may overlap with other dermatological conditions. In the realm of cosmetology, heightened hygiene practices and the use of masks can lead to skin irritations and fungal outbreaks, necessitating a focus on proper skincare routines. Awareness and early intervention are crucial in managing these infections to maintain both skin health and overall well-being during this challenging time.
