hello in general, since surgery causes trauma to that area and general anesthesia suppresses the immune system even slightly, if you have a skin infection in the surgical area, I recommend that you postpone your surgical plan. However, if your fungal infection is outside the surgical area, such as the arm or the leg area below the knee, then you can have surgery. Tinea corporis is a type of infection that can be treated successfully. It can usually be treated with topical creams or sometimes oral pills.
