- Colloquially known as 'jock itch'
- Most commonly caused by Tinea rubrum
- More common in men than women
- May result from the spread of other concurrent tinea infections
- More common in obese, diabetics, and immunodeficient
Tinea Types
- Tinea capitis (head)
- Tinea corporis (body)
- Tinea pedis (foot)
- Tinea cruris (groin)
Clinical Features
- Begins with an erythematous patch on the proximal medial thigh
- Inward spread with partial central clearing
- Sharply demarcated border, erythematous, elevated
- May spread to perineum, perianally, onto buttocks, or into gluteal cleft
- Typically spares the scrotum
Differential Diagnosis
