Fungal skin infection, artwork
Fungal skin infection. Artwork of clumps of fungal hyphae (brown), representing an infection of the skin by a fungus. In humans, this is invariably a dermatophyte, and the condition is known as dermatophytosis or tinea, with a more imprecise term being ringworm. Examples are tinea pedis (athletes foot) and tinea capitis (scalp ringworm). A wide variety of fungi can cause tinea infections. Non-ringworm examples of tinea are tinea nigra and tinea versicolor

EDITORS COMMENTS
This artwork, titled "Fungal Skin Infection" provides a visually striking representation of the intricate world of fungal hyphae and its impact on the human body. The print showcases clumps of brown-colored hyphae, symbolizing an infection caused by a fungus. Specifically, this artwork focuses on dermatophytosis or tinea, commonly known as ringworm. Within the realm of dermatology and mycology, this piece sheds light on various forms of tinea infections that affect our skin. From athletes foot (tinea pedis) to scalp ringworm (tinea capitis), these conditions can be uncomfortable and persistent. It is important to note that while humans are susceptible to these infections exclusively from dermatophytes, there exists a wide range of fungi capable of causing tinea infections. The fusion between artistry and medical science in this illustration allows viewers to grasp the concept behind fungal skin infections with ease. By highlighting the intricacy and complexity within each lesion caused by these fungi, it serves as a reminder that even microscopic organisms can have significant impacts on our health. Science Photo Library's expertise in capturing scientific concepts through visual media shines through once again with this thought-provoking print. Whether you're interested in medicine or simply appreciate conceptual art that explores the human body's vulnerabilities, this artwork offers an engaging perspective into the world of fungal skin infections.
