Tinea cruris or “jock itch” is a superficial infection of the groin and surrounding skin caused by dermatophytes

Tinea in the groin produces a brownish red rash with pustules and vesicles at the active borders

* most commonly affect the medial side of the thighs and inguinal folds bilaterally
* usually spares the penis and scrotum

It occurs

* almost exclusively in young men (specially in obese adult men)
* rarely in children

Associated tinea pedis may often be a source of infection. Most common causative pathogen is Trichophyton rubrum

There is often spread of the infection from the groins to involve the lower abdomen, scrotum and buttocks. Often patients complain of burning and pruritus

Diagnosis can be confirmed by culture. Wood's light is unhelpful in diagnosing this condition
