Abstract
Dermatophyte infections, also known as tinea, are the most common type of fungal infections in the skin, nail, and hair. Dermatophytes are a group of fungi that require keratin in order for growth. Their spread can be through direct or indirect forms of contact from other people, animals, and habitats. In this chapter, we will address the aetiology and treatment of Tinea corporis, Tinea cruris, Tinea capitis, and Onychomycosis.
