Fungal infections are harder to treat because the US doctors did nothing but hand out antibiotics like they are candy, because it was an easy (no thinking involved) treatment that allowed them to spend 15 minutes or less with patience (cattle.)

However, antibiotics destroy good bacteria along with the bad, causing lots of skin conditions, fungal diseases, also immunity comes into play. Welcome to western medicine, they caused this issue.
