What is jock itch?

Jock itch, also known as tinea cruris, is caused by a fungal infection of the groin. It can affect the skin of your genitals, inner thighs and buttocks. There are several different types of tinea fungal infections, all caused by a type of fungus called dermatophytes. Jock itch is closely related to the fungus that causes athlete’s foot and it is common for people to have both infections at same time.
