Superficial mycoses are skin infections caused by fungal colonization. One of the factors that cause infection and the spread of superficial mycoses is personal hygiene. Superficial mycoses transmission can occur when a person lives together. One of the places that have a risk of superficial mycoses transmission is Islamic boarding school. This study aims to analyze the relationship between personal hygiene and superficial mycoses in Islamic Boarding School. This type of research is quantitative with a cross sectional research design. Data was collected by means of interviews, filling out questionnaires and examining superficial mycoses macroscopically and microscopically. The results of the study using the contingency coefficient test showed that there was a relationship between personal hygiene and superficial mycoses (Approv.Sig 0.036 < 0.05). Superficial mycoses can also caused by environmental conditions, humidity, temperature and population density. Cases of superficial mycoses are still common in Islamic boarding schools.
