<![CDATA[Dermatomycosis or superficial fungal infection (SFI) is one of the most common fungal skin infections suffered by the world community and often occurs in countries with tropical climates. The prevalence of SFI itself is still very high at around 20%-25% of the world's population. Data on the prevalence of SFI in Indonesia cannot be found with certainty. Dermatomycosis spreads through skin contact, poor sanitation, wearing contaminated items and consumption of immunosuppressive drugs. Dermatomycosis is not life-threatening but greatly interferes with daily activities. This study aims to determine the risk factors associated with the occurrence of dermatomycosis cases in patients seeking treatment at the Unyur Health Center.
