my grand daughter has been tested possiviive for the TOE alergens, trichophyton-candida-and-epidermoph, but my resurch has come up with very little. why are these grouped together, skin fungal and an internalyeast bacteria? what is the relation/link between the two?
Hi there! There are broadly 2 kinds of fungi which could infect skin. One type needs keratin to grow like Trichophyton or epidermophyton because of which it tends to grow on Skin Nails n Hair where Keratin is abundant. These do not grow inside the body. While Candida can grow on skin and inside the body too. Mostly moist areas like Groin, Vagina etc. For nail infection especially toenails the medication needs to be taken for a long time because the Chat Doctor.  Hopefully this helps.
