Abstract
Infections with fungi are a frequent medical concern in India.

Males dominated the age range affected, with 21‐30 years old being the most common age group impacted out of 186 clinically identified cases. Tinea corporis is the most prevalent form among females, occurring in 15.05% of males and 29.72% of females. For men, Tinea cruris is the most prevalent kind. With 89 members, Manual Workers make up the majority of the group. In 76.88% of cases, KOH was positive.
