Abstract : A major public health risk is fungal infections. Fungal infections can be systemic, mucosal, cutaneous, subcutaneous, or superficial, depending on how severe they are. To get past the host's defenses and exacerbate illnesses, fungal pathogens employ a number of tactics. Fungal infections can be systemic, mucosal, cutaneous, subcutaneous, or superficial, depending on how severe they are. The study included females between the ages of 17 and 30. The Sree Ramakrishna Medical College of Naturopathy and Yogic Sciences and Hospital in Kulasekharam, Tamil Nadu, India, served as the study site. After explaining the goal of the study, verbal consent was obtained. This survey was completed by thirty people. There are thirty questions in the survey. The questionnaire asked questions about complaints of constipation, dry skin, sanitization, allergies, sharing personal items, frequent sweating, adequate menstrual hygiene, wet clothes, tight clothing, and habits. The results and discussion of this survey indicate that most women suffer from skin rashes, excessive sweating, boredom, fatigue, poor hygiene, and allergies to cosmetics. Women therefore need to be more mindful of their cleanliness. Future therapies should target these areas to improve women's general health and well-being.

Keywords : Habits, Skin Rashes, Dry SKIN, Fungal Infection, Sanitation, Allergies.
