Are you speaking of thrush? If so, it is an oral yeast infection.  Check out the link I provided and see if it sounds like what you are talking about.

Usually you get this on the feet, though once I did get a solitary circle on my arm.  Since I live in a very humid semitropical environment, I shrugged and did not think much of it.\n\nAs it's a fungus, yes, it could be passed on, I think, though contact with surfaces or fabrics which have the spores. You want to bathe in water with a strong bleach solution, and pass a little time in between, in the sun.  Also, apply the typical creams meant for this, which you can get either over the counter or by prescription.\n\nI very much doubt that it is pinworm, since this is an intestinal infection.  But you know, how many of us here have enough medical training, and even then we cannot give a proper diagnosis.  Go to a doctor and get it checked out, but in the meantime, don't worry so much.  The worry is probably worse than whatever you have.

This sounds like a school question.... if wikipedia is all you tried, then you didn't try very hard.\n\nCheck out \nhttp://tolweb.org/Fungi  \n\nUse keywords selected from your reading to search for more information.

sounds like a common skin fungus.\ntry Tinactin Pump Spray. It's over the counter and cost about 5 bucks or less.  Read all the Label.  It should clear up in a day or two if not see a doc.

I definately wouldn't wait a month.  Talk to your doctor.  It could be nothing more than a fungal infection.  If so, he can give you something that'll clear it right up.

Fungal infections will generally show signs, such as flaking skin, red and swolen skin, discolored skin, ect.\n\nBacterial infections will usualy not show in such dramatic ways; signs of typical bacterial infections are increased body temprature, shivering, soreness around the affected area, stinky smell from wound, ect.

Athlete's foot or tinea pedis is a fungal infection of the skin of the foot, usually between the toes, caused by parasitic fungi\n\nThe infection is often treated with topical antifungal agents such as miconazole, itraconazole, terbinafine and a keratolytic such as salicylic acid. Topical agents only clear the infection about 30% of the time and provide mycologic cures (absence of organisms) less than 15% of the time. The time line for cure may be long, often 45 days or longer. However, because the itching associated with the infection subsides quickly, patients may not complete the courses of therapy prescribed. Washing socks, underwear and bed clothes at 60C or 140F will also help prevent any reinfection.\n\nSome topical applications such as Castellani's Paint, often used for intertrigo, work well but in small selected areas. Carbol Fuscin Red dye used in this treatment like many other vital stains is both fungicidal and bacteriocidal; however, because of the staining are cosmetically undesirable. For many years gentian violet was also used for interdigital and other bacterial and fungal infections.\n\nOral treatment with griseofulvin was begun early in the 1950s. Because of the tendency to cause liver problems and to provoke aplastic anemia the drugs were used cautiously and sparingly. Over time it was found that those problems were due to the size of the crystal in the manufacturing process and microsize and now ultramicrosize crystals are available with few of the original side effects. Oral treatment provides long lasting mycologic cure.\n\nIf the fungal invader is not a dermatophyte but a yeast, other medications such as fluconazole may be used. Typically diflucan is used for candidal vaginal infections moniliasis but has been shown to be of benefit for those with cutaneous yeast infections as well. The most common of these infections occur in the web spaces (intertriginous) and at the base of the fingernail or toenail. The hall mark of these infections is a cherry red color surrounding the lesion and a yellow thick pus.

hi this is a sign of fungus

Sounds like ring worm to me. Your MD will probably prescribe an anti-fungal cream

The fungus Coccidioides immitis
39986
(can·di·di·a·sis) infection with a fungus of the genus Candida, especially C. albicans. It is usually a superficial infection of the skin or mucous membranes, although sometimes it manifests as a systemic infection or endocarditis; any form can become more severe in immunocompromised patients. Called also moniliasis and candidosis.

I have never heard of "cyotollic vaginosis", but most cases of vaginosis are caused by a bacteria called Gardernella, among others.  As I mentioned, it is a bacteria, and no treatment for a yeast infection, or fungus is going to work. The treatments for fungus and bacteria are completely different.  Both are part of the normal flora of the vagina and it is not transmitted sexually.  Sometimes, for unknown reasons, they both overgrow and become a problem.  Your doctor needs to determine which bacteria is causing the problem and treat it accordingly.  He/she can do that by taking what is called a vaginal culture and sending it to the lab.  The lab will then identify what bacteria is causing the problem and tell your doctor what antibiotics it is resistant to.  In other words, the lab will tell your doctor which antibiotic will not work on that particular bacteria, and which ones will.  \nI hope this is helpful to you.

Blastomycosis is a fungal infection caused by the organism Blastomyces dermatitidis.\n\nInfection occurs by inhalation of the fungus from its natural soil habitat. Once inhaled in the lungs, they multiply and may disseminate through the blood and lymphatics to other organs, including the skin, bone, genitourinary tract, and brain. The incubation period is 30 to 100 days, although infection can be asymptomatic.\n\nBlastomycosis can present in one of the following ways:\n\na flulike illness with fever, chills, myalgia, headache, and a nonproductive cough which resolves within days. \nan acute illness resembling bacterial pneumonia, with symptoms of high fever, chills, a productive cough, and pleuritic chest pain. \na chronic illness that mimics tuberculosis or lung cancer, with symptoms of low-grade fever, a productive cough, night sweats, and weight loss. \na fast, progressive, and severe disease that manifests as ARDS, with fever, shortness of breath, tachypnea, hypoxemia, and diffuse pulmonary infiltrates. \nskin lesions, usually asymptomatic, appear as ulcerated lesions with small pustules at the margins \nbone lytic lesions can cause bone or joint pain. \nprostatitis may be asymptomatic or may cause pain on urinating. \nlaryngeal involvement causes hoarseness.

Live bacteria seems unlikely. Bacterial spores, no problems.\n\nYou would have more luck trying to isolate fungi.

a fungus.  See your dr they can prescribe an anti-fungal pill.  Topicals usually don't work>
