Preparing questions in advance can help patients to have more meaningful discussions with their physicians regarding their conditions. Patients may wish to ask their doctor the following questions about fungal skin infections:

1. Do my symptoms indicate that I have a fungal skin infection?
   
   
2. What kind of fungal skin infection do I have?
   
   
3. What may have caused me to develop this infection?
   
   
4. Does this infection pose any danger to my overall health?
   
   
5. Can I spread this condition to other parts of my body or to other people? If so, what precautions should I take to avoid spreading the infection?
   
   
6. What are my treatment options?
   
   
7. How long will my treatment last?
   
   
8. When can I expect to see an improvement?
   
   
9. Is it likely I will develop a fungal infection again in the future?
   
   
10. What can I do to avoid getting another infection after this one is cured?
