Jock itch, also known as tinea cruris, is a common fungal infection that affects the groin and inner thighs area. It is characterized by itching, redness, flaking, peeling, or cracking skin in these areas. Despite its name, anyone can get jock itch, not just athletes. It tends to thrive in warm, moist areas of the body and is more common in men and adolescent boys. The fungus that causes jock itch is the same that causes athlete’s foot and ringworm.
