Although it’s common name, jock itch, makes us think of athletes, this fungal condition can happen to anyone who sweats a lot. It’s not a serious condition but is certainly uncomfortable and annoying. The condition is characterized by a reddened area of skin in the moist areas of the groin which is itchy and forms a half-moon or circular shape. Another common name for this fungus “Ringworm” derives from the circular shape of the fungal infection.
