Causes Of Night Sweat
January 24, 2007
Doctors in primary care fields often hear their patients complain of night sweats. Night sweats refer to any excess sweating occurring during the night. However, if your bedroom is unusually hot or you are using too many bedclothes, you may begin to sweat during sleep–and this is normal. In order to distinguish night sweats that arise from medical causes from those that occur because one’s surroundings are too warm, doctors generally refer to true night sweats as severe hot flashes occurring at night that can drench sleepwear and sheets, which are not related to an overheated environment.

What is tinea?
Tinea is a skin infection of the skin or scalp which is caused by one of several different types of fungus (not the mushroom type of fungus, these are different kinds).
Tinea likes warm moist conditions, so it often grows in between the toes, where it may be called ‘athletes foot.’ Another of its favourite places is the groin, where it may be called ‘jock itch’.
It can also cause a rash on other parts of the body, which is often called ‘ringworm’, although it has nothing whatsoever to do with worms!
