Fungi normally occur on the human skin in balance with other micro-organisms. These together constitute the normal flora of skin and protect skin from harmful germs. Many fungal infections happen due to disruption of the normal flora. Many fungi are capable of invading the skin and nails. Mostly these remain limited to skin and mucosa. They may extend more deeply into the organs in people having low immunity due to any reason like antibiotic use, AIDS, cancers, steroid use, burns etc. We can broadly classify these infections into superficial skin infections and deeper infections.

If you are breastfeeding while you or your baby are sick, doubt may arise if it’s safe for your baby. The good news is that breastmilk is protective against infections. It contains natural antibacterial and antiviral substances that are passed onto the new born. Therefore the breastfed babies fall sick less often and recover faster than Bottle-fed babies.
