1638 Owen Dr. Fayetteville, NC 28304 (910) 609-4000 Heart Cancer Women Men ... All Health 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. The fungus grows in the warm moist atmosphere when feet aren't dried off or when they get very sweaty. 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. No one is sure why people get tinea versicolor; however with other tinea infections, the best defense is a good offense.

Dermatology Times; July 01, 1999; Dermatology Times July 01, 1999 Coral Gables, Fla. - Stiefel Laboratories introduces Zeasorb-AF Lotion/Powder with miconazole nitrate 2 percent for the treatment of dermatophytosis. The product features a patent-pending drug delivery system that is applied to the affected areas as a lotion, then dries to a substantive powdery film. The protective film and ethanol, a penetration enhancer, help to sustain miconazole therapy where it is needed. The powdery finish helps to reduce friction, maintain film integrity, and protect the affected area. The formulation avoids the mess and waste of aerosol sprays and leaves no sticky or greasy residue, according to the company. The antifungal lotion/powder can be used as primary therapy in minor tinea conditions or as an adjunctive therapy to other topical or systemic products in more serious conditions.

KidsHealth Teens Infections Fungal Infections Although the words ringworm, jock itch , and athlete's foot may sound funny, if you're a teen with one of these skin infections, you're probably not laughing. If you've ever had one, you know that any of these infections can produce some pretty unpleasant symptoms. The good news is that tinea , the name for this category of common skin infections, is generally easy to treat. Read on to learn more about ringworm. The Basics on Tinea Infections Tinea (pronounced: tih -nee-uh) is the medical name for a group of related skin infections, including athlete's foot, jock itch, and ringworm. These infections are caused by several types of mold-like fungi called dermatophytes (pronounced: der- mah -tuh-fites) that live on the dead tissues of the skin, hair, and nails. What Is Ringworm? Ringworm, which isn't a worm at all, can affect not only the skin, but also the nails and scalp. Ringworm of the skin starts as a red, scaly patch or bump. Ringworm tends to be very itchy and uncomfortable. Over time, it may begin to look like a ring or a series of rings with raised, bumpy borders around a scaly center. This ring pattern gave ringworm its name, but not every person who's infected develops the rings. When ringworm affects the feet it's known as athlete's foot, and the rash, which is usually between a person's toes, appears patchy. In fact, the rashes a person gets with athlete's foot and jock itch may not look like rings at all.

KidsHealth Teens Infections Fungal Infections Game over! It was a hard-fought match, and you've just won in the final seconds. Now, as you bask in the afterglow of sweet victory, you think about all the great things you're going to get from your sweaty efforts - admiring glances, bragging rights, a medal, a trophy, maybe even a mention in the local paper. But suddenly, your celebration is interrupted. Something's not quite right. You're feeling a little itchy and uncomfortable in a strange area due south. And it's starting to burn. Yes, it's something else you got for your athletic efforts, something you really didn't expect and really didn't want - jock itch What Is Jock Itch? Jock itch is a pretty common fungal infection of the groin and upper thighs. It's part of a group of fungal skin infections called tinea (pronounced: tih -nee-uh), and it's related to athlete's foot and ringworm (by the way, ringworm isn't really a worm - it's a fungus). The medical name for all of these types of fungal infections is a tinea infection , and the medical name for jock itch is tinea cruris (pronounced: tih -nee-uh krur -us).
