Go to PDF Version Jock Itch (tinea cruris) BASICS Jock itch is a fungal infection that typically causes raised, red, extremely itchy, sharply defined lesions on the groin and may extend into the buttocks, inner thigh and external genitalia. Because they need heat and moisture to grow, fungal infections are commonly found in areas where skin folds, but may be found on any part of the body. Warm weather and tight clothing (which hold moisture and sweat) encourage fungal growth. A fungal infection may be found on another part of the body and be referred to by another name such as ringworm. (Don't worry, there are not worms involved; the name came about before scientists were able to identify the true source of infection.) Diagnosis of a fungal infection is made by a health care provider and may involve taking a skin scraping for microscopic examination or culture. Other conditions may look similar to a fungal infection. If you decide to self diagnose and treat, seek medical attention if there is no improvement within one or two weeks, or if the condition worsens. Transmission may occur by direct contact, (transfer by touch of one infected area to another, either on yourself, another person, or even a dog or cat) or by direct contact with a contaminated article, such as towels or bed linen.

ALL TOPICS A - Z Tinea: Ringworm, Jock Itch, and Athlete's Foot Ringworm Tinea capis is usually called ringworm, according to the American Academy of Family Physicians (AAFP). Like most tinea infections, as it grows it spreads out in a circle leaving normal looking skin in between. That makes it look like a ring. At the edge, the skin will be red, raised and scaly. Some people think it looks like a worm under the skin and that's where the name "ringworm" comes from. There is no worm under the skin, though. Instead it is a fungus growing on the skin. If it's in the scalp, the hair can be destroyed, leaving bald patches. Jock Itch Tinea cruris is commonly referred to as jock itch according to AAFP. The fungus grows in the warm, moist area around the groin. It generally occurs in men and particularly in athletes because of the sweating they do. Athlete's Foot Tinea pedis is the term for athlete's foot. Once again it's a fungal infection, this time of the feet. It usually shows up as redness and scaling between the toes.

You can pick up the fungus in the locker room but it's harder than you think and you can avoid it by drying your feet well. The fungus can also infect the toenails. Treatments Most tinea infections can be treated with a topical cream. Sometimes however oral medications will be needed. Treatment can last for months to fully get rid of the infection.
