Rubbing skin against skin, clothes, or other materials can disrupt the skin barrier, fostering a conducive environment for fungal growth.
Waxing, plucking, or shaving can irritate hair follicles, making them more susceptible to fungal infections.
The warm, moist environment promotes fungal proliferation, especially if cleanliness is not properly maintained.
Constantly rubbing or touching the skin transfers oils, dirt, and fungi from hands to face, exacerbating the condition.
Prolonged exposure to heat and sweat after exercise or in humid climates creates a breeding ground for fungi.
