Tinea Cruris
Tinea cruris, called jock itch, is a contagious fungal infection of the groin. It causes an itchy, scaly and sometimes painful rash. Warm, damp skin folds let it establish. It belongs to the same tinea family as athlete’s foot and ringworm.
Medicine used to treat Tinea Cruris
Key points
- It is named by where it sits on the body, not by a different fungus.
- Keeping the groin dry matters, because it is one of the folds that stays damp.
- Antifungal medicines treat it, and hands should be washed after applying a cream or gel.
Symptoms
The rash is itchy, scaly and sometimes painful. A ring-shaped rash with a scaly border that leaves the scrotum clear is typical. The feet may be affected too.
Treatment
A cream containing betamethasone and clotrimazole is listed for tinea cruris: Betamethasone + Clotrimazole Cream. Its ingredients are betamethasone and clotrimazole. Pharmacy partners in India ship to Malaysia in discreet packaging.
When to see a doctor
A doctor should assess the rash if it moves beyond the groin, affects the feet too, or has not improved after two weeks of treatment.
