Hello
Thank You for contacting HCM. My name is Dr Muhammad Ali Rauf & i will look into your problem.
I have gone through your query and would try to help you in the best possible way. Fungal infection of skin usually does not spread systemic until or unless it is severe. I would suggest you to once visit hospital and get an appointment for a "Consultant Dermatologist" so that he can examine you and will take scrapping from the skin to examine under microscope for fungus. As soon as it is confirmed, he will prescribe you anti-fungal medicine(most commonly ketoconazole 100mg)
Hope I have answered your query. If you have any further questions I will be happy to help if not then don't forget to close the discussion and rate it.
Wishing you good health !!

Brief Answer:
Do not worry with such researches
Detailed Answer:
Hello
Thank you for the query.
I would strongly suggest you NOT to take stress regarding this. The link you gave is of biostats and at this moment you can not correlate it with yourself. You can not tell if experimental patient has same condition as yours. As mentioned earlier, you first need to visit a dermatologist. he will examine you and after confirmation will prescribe anti-fungals. Hopefully you will get cured completely with oral medication and no complication will occur.
Thank You
