What is the name of fungal infection surrounding the anus?


What is the name of fungal infection surrounding the anus?

1.Tinea (say: tih-nee-uh) is a type of fungal infection of the hair, skin, or nails. When it's on the skin, tinea usually begins as a small red area the size of a pea. As it grows, it spreads out in a circle or ring. Tinea is often called ringworm because it may look like tiny worms are under the skin (but of course, they're not!). Because the fungi that cause tinea (ringworm) live on different parts of the body, they are named for the part of the body they infect.
2.Candida (say: kan-duh-duh) is a yeast, similar to a fungus. It most often affects the skin around the nails or the soft, moist areas around body openings. Diaper rash in babies can be from one type of candidal infection, as can thrush (white patches often found in the mouths of babies.) Older girls and women may develop another form of candidal infection in and around the vagina. This is called a yeast infection

any of these two, see a doctor before it spreads.

Candida can exist there.

Many different fungi can live in that area. The only way to make sure what fungus is actually the culprit would be to culture it. The most likely one is Candida but you cannot be sure until lab tests are done
