Trichophyton anthropophilum is a species of fungus that can cause a skin and nail disease known as dermatophytosis. This fungus is anthropophilic, meaning that it prefers humans as a host. Trichophyton anthropophilis can be transmitted through contact with contaminated surfaces such as carpets, clothing and bedding.
Symptoms of Trichophyton anthropophila may include itching, redness and flaking of the skin, as well as changes in the color and shape of the nails. Treatment may include topical antifungal medications such as creams and ointments. However, if the infection is not treated properly, it can spread to other parts of the body such as the face, arms and legs.
To prevent infection with Trichophyton anthropophilis, it is necessary to maintain hygiene and regularly wash your hands with soap. You should also avoid contact with contaminated surfaces and avoid sharing common hygiene items such as towels and combs. If you suspect you may have Trichophyton anthropophilis, see your doctor for diagnosis and treatment.
