I am worried about adult fungal infection transmitted to my future newborn baby. I have 2 sisters who will be helping to take care of the baby during my confinement, however, both of them are suffering from fungal infections for more than 12 months. The younger sister, the skin on her forehead was very dark, but now it has lightened up, however, there s a new infection on her knee. The infection gives light itches. The older sister is also suffering from something similiar, in between her neck and shoulder. I was also suffering from redness on my scalp which causes itchiness. I was prescribed a shampoo, the redness is gone, however the itchiness is still there and my hair now easily falls everywhere, even when I comb and especially when I shampoo, my hand will be filled with hair. I ve stopped using the prescribed shampoo and use an over the counter anti fungal cream, it reduced the itchiness, but I am still suffering from hair loss. My concern is whether all the skin problems could be transmitted to the baby; and what are the effects.
