A fungus infection causing irritation to the skin of the genital area.
A fungal infection of the groin area, especially in hot climates.
A fungus skin disease of surfaces of contact in the scrotal, crural, anal, and genital areas. Also called “jock itch.”
Ringworm that affects the groin area, including around the anus and vagina, is highly contagious and can be challenging to eliminate, especially in communal living environments. It often occurs alongside athlete’s foot and is uncommon in women, except in warmer climates. The infection can be transmitted through floors of shower stalls, duckboards, bath mats, potentially toilet seats, towels, and shared clothing. It is also known as gym itch, jockey itch, or dhobie itch.
