    J ock itch is caused by a fungus that lives on your skin. The name of the fungus is Tinea cruris, and is related to the athlete's foot fungus. Jocks aren't the only ones who get jock itch - men who sweat a lot can also get it, and sometimes women. This fungus likes to grow and live in the warm, moist parts of the genital area, particularly the insides of the thighs. The rash makes the area itch, causes the skin to become red and sometimes crack or peel. Y ou can help prevent jock itch by keeping the area clean and dry. Take time to dry your genital area and inner thighs after showering, bathing, or swimming. Make sure that your gym clothes or sports uniform fits you correctly and doesn't irritate the skin in the genital area. If you wear an athletic supporter, be sure to wash it often. T o help prevent jock itch, you can put cornstarch or special drying powders on the area a few times a day (these are both available over-the-counter). To treat jock itch, you can buy sprays or creams that are also available at a drugstore over-the-counter. In some cases, your health care provider may need to prescribe stronger medication to kill the fungus either a cream, a spray, or a pill.

    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).

    Jock Itch
    Jock itch is typified by redness, itching and scaliness in the groin and thigh area, and is usually caused by a fungus infection. It can also result from a bacterial infection or be a reaction to chemicals in clothing, irritating garments or medicines that you take. Jock itch gets its name because an athletic supporter worn, then stored in a dark, locker, then worn again without being laundered, provides the ideal environment in which the fungi thrive. (Under similar conditions, women's clothing can develop this problem, too.)
    Questions to Ask
    Do symptoms of jock itch persist longer than two weeks despite Self-Care Procedures?
    Self-Care Procedures
    To relieve jock itch and prevent future attacks:
    Don't wear tight, close-fitting clothing. Wear loose-fitting underwear, such as boxer instead of briefs.
    Change underwear frequently, especially after tasks that leave you hot and sweaty.
    Bathe or shower right away after a workout.
    Apply talc or other powder to the groin area to help keep it dry. If you sweat a lot or are very overweight use a drying powder with miconazole nitrate.
    Don't store damp clothing in a locker or gym bag. Wash workout clothes after each wearing.

    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

    Tinea Cruris I. Definition: "Jock itch" refers to any itching groin rash of men. There are many causes of jock itch; when it is caused by a fungus, the rash is known as tinea cruris. The fungus causing tinea cruris prefers moist, warm skin; this is why tinea cruris favors the groin area and is often worse in hot weather. Not all groin rashes are tinea cruris, only those caused by fungus growing on the skin. II. Causes:
    • Tinea cruris is caused by a fungus. Tinea cruris is not contagious; direct person to person contact rarely leads to spreading of tinea cruris.
    III. Treatment:
    • Tinea cruris usually clears up quickly when antifungal medicines are applied twice daily to the skin. If it doesn't, you may need two to three weeks of treatment with the antifungal antibiotic, griseofulvin, taken by mouth. Tinea cruris is only one cause of groin itching. If your rash does not improve, please return for further evaluation. You can help prevent recurrences by drying thoroughly after bathing, wearing loose cotton underwear, and dusting a bland powder such as baby powder on your groin once or twice daily.

    http://kidshealth.org/parent/infections/fungal/ringworm.html

    KidsHealth
    Parents Infections Fungal Infections (Ringworm, Yeast, etc.)
    Signs and Symptoms:
    The term "tinea" is a general name referring to a group of related fungal skin infections. Tinea can affect most skin sites, depending on the specific fungal type. Tinea pedis is the medical name for "athlete's foot"; Tinea cruris is "jock itch"; Tinea capitis is "ringworm" of the scalp; and tinea corporis is "ringworm" of the body and nails. These descriptive terms refer to the location of the infection and not which specific type of fungus is involved. Fungal infections of the scalp may appear as patchy areas with dandruff-like scaling and hair loss (with broken stubbles of hair). Sometimes, there may be a swollen, inflammed mass known as a "kerion" which may be confused with impetigo or cellulitis . The classical features of tinea are itching, redness on the skin and a circular patchy lesion that spreads along its borders, at the same time clearing at the center. In time, it may appear as a ring or a series of rings around a clear center, hence its name "ringworm." This pattern may not always be seen in every infected person. Additional signs or symptoms depend on which site is infected, and how advanced the disease is. On the palms or soles, redness may be the only sign; sometimes, on the soles, there may be deep seated blisters which, over time, dry and end up as brown crusts. Between the toes there may be thick, white scaling. Nails can turn thick and white, and eventually crumble if untreated. On the scalp, there may be hair loss as the hairs break off at their shafts - "black dot ringworm."
