Chromoblastomycosis is a long-term fungal infection of the skin[2] and subcutaneous tissue (a chronic subcutaneous mycosis).[3]
It can be caused by many different types of fungi which become implanted under the skin, often by thorns or splinters.[4] Chromoblastomycosis spreads very slowly.[citation needed]
It is rarely fatal and usually has a good prognosis, but it can be very difficult to cure. The several treatment options include medication and surgery.[5]
The infection occurs most commonly in tropical or subtropical climates, often in rural areas.[6]
