Subcutaneous mycoses are fungal infections characterized by lesions that usually occur after trauma in areas prone to injury like the hands and arms. Common types include sporotrichosis, chromoblastomycosis, mycetoma, and rhinosporidiosis. The causative organisms are typically found in soil and cause chronic infections that can involve draining sinuses or nodules. Diagnosis involves microscopic examination of samples and cultures, while treatment consists of antifungals and sometimes surgery.
