Overview
Jock itch (tinea cruris) is a fungal infection affecting the groin area. It causes a red, itchy rash and is more common in men. It thrives in warm, moist conditions.
Understanding Jock Itch
Fungi thrive in warm, moist environments, making the groin and thigh areas particularly vulnerable. The infection often begins as a red, itchy rash that spreads in a ring-like pattern.
Treatment & Prevention
Treatment options include: Clotrimazole (Canesten) for mild infections. Daktacort (miconazole + hydrocortisone) when inflammation is prominent. Keep the area clean and dry.
