The incidence of skin fungal infections is increasing at an alarming rate worldwide, presenting a major challenge to health professionals. Cutaneous and subcutaneous fungal infections are caused by pathogenic or opportunistic organisms varying from mold, yeasts, to dimorphic fungi. Recently, skin fungal have been increasingly reported and studied, giving rise to crucial breakthroughs in etiology and pathogenesis. This review aims to summarize recent insights into the clinical and etiological characteristics of common skin fungal infections according to different fungal species, as well as remarkable advances in the immune mechanisms. We hope it will be helpful to understand these diverse skin fungal infections, and bring about the latest developments that may facilitate novel diagnostic and therapeutic approaches to improve the outcomes in these patients.
