- Fungi that just infected on the body surface groups into superficial mycoses are caused by fungi that grow only on the surface of the skin or hair.
- Fungi that infected to the bottom area of our body. Cutaneous mycoses or dermatomycoses include such infections as athlete's foot and ringworm, in which growth occurs only in the superficial layers of skin, nails, or hair.
- Most deep infect our body grouping as subcutaneous mycoses, fungi penetrate below the skin to involve the subcutaneous, connective, and bone tissue.
- Deeper penetrate to our body groups into systemic mycoses or deep mycoses, this fungi can infect internal organs and become widely disseminated throughout the body. This type is often fatal.
Other forms of subcutaneous mycoses occur mostly in the tropics and subtropics and are caused by several fungi species. These conditions are called chromomycosis (producing wartlike nodules that can ulcerate) and maduromycosis (or mycetoma -- a chronic slowly progressive destructive infection involving several layers of skin, producing abscessing granulomas). Treatment is difficult and often requires surgical removal of the offending tissues.
