When I lived right in the San Joaquin area and felt like I was going to throw up anything I ate and had a major yeast infection. I went to about ten doctors, and I never heard any of them about Valley Fever. One doctor said, take an antihistamine. One man went to the ER for his foot. They kept giving him antibiotics and had to remove half his foot. Then someone suggested it being a fungal infection. It was and the man got well immediately, with half his foot gone. This is important information that's obviously not taught in med school. They don't know if something is viral, bacterial or fungal.

Another variety of tinea infections is - Tinea nigra which is a localised infection of the stratum corneum especially palms. It produces black or brown macular lesions.Mainly in tropics.
