Tinea Infections: Athlete's Foot, Jock Itch and Ringworm Printer-friendly version Email this article What is tinea? Tinea is a fungus that can grow on your skin, hair or nails. As it grows, it spreads out in a circle, leaving normal-looking skin in the middle. This makes it look like a ring. At the edge of the ring, the skin is lifted up by the irritation and looks red and scaly. To some people, the infection looks like a worm is under the skin. Because of the way it looks, tinea infection is often called "ringworm." However, there really isn't a worm under the skin. Return to top How did I get a fungal infection? You can get a fungal infection by touching a person who has one. Some kinds of fungi live on damp surfaces, like the floors in public showers or locker rooms. You can easily pick up a fungus there. You can even catch a fungal infection from your pets. Dogs and cats, as well as farm animals, can be infected with a fungus. Often this infection looks like a patch of skin where fur is missing.

Effective treatment can reduce the duration of symptoms in patients with superficial fungal infections. Dermatophytes, specifically Trichophyton, Epidermophyton and Microsporum species, are responsible for most superficial fungal infections. The estimated lifetime risk of acquiring a dermatophyte infection is between 10 and 20 percent. The term "tinea" refers exclusively to dermatophyte infections.

T inea infections are superficial fungal infections caused by the three genera of dermatophytes, Trichophyton, Microsporum and Epidermophyton. Commonly, the infections caused by these organisms are named for the sites involved. Tinea capitis refers to a dermatophyte infection of the head, tinea barbae affects the beard area, tinea corporis occurs on the body surface, tinea manuum is limited to the hands, tinea pedis to the feet, and tinea unguium infects the toenails. These names do not distinguish between species (for example, tinea capitis may be caused by Trichophyton or Microsporum genera). Trichophyton rubrum is the most common pathogen causing dermatomycoses, including tinea pedis, tinea corporis, and tinea cruris.

Alternative Names: Athlete's foot; Fungal infection - feet; Tinea of the foot; Infection - fungal - feet; Ringworm - foot Causes, incidence, and risk factors: The body normally hosts a variety of microorganisms, including bacteria, mold-like fungi (dermatophytes), and yeast-like fungi (such as Candida). Some of these are useful to the body. Others may, under proper conditions, multiply rapidly and cause infections. Athlete's foot is an extremely common skin disorder. It occurs most frequently during and after adolescence and is fairly rare before. Athlete's foot is the most common and most persistent of the fungal ( tinea ) infections. It may occur in association with other fungal skin infections such as ringworm or jock itch . The dermatophytes that cause athlete's foot and similar infections, called tinea infections, live on the dead tissues of the hair, nails, and outer skin layers.
