Tinea Cruris

Tinea Cruris (jock itch) is a fungal skin infection that mainly affects the inner thighs, groin area and the buttocks.

It is caused by a group of fungi called dermatophytes that like to grow on skin that’s moist and warm and thrive in areas where skin comes into contact with other skin. This infection is common among people who sweat a lot. It can affect both men and women, but men are more likely to get it.
