peer agreement (net): +1coceira causada pelo fungo do tinea ,(Tinea Cruris) Explanation: Alternative names Infection - fungal - groin; Jock itch; Itching in the groin; Tinea of the groin; Fungal infection - groin, Ringworm - groin Causes, incidence, and risk factors Occasionally, itching in the groin can result from chemical irritation (see vaginal itching, in women). Other causes include lichen simplex chronicus, eczema, and pubic lice. Tinea cruris is a skin disorder that occurs almost exclusively in adult men. It can sometimes accompany athlete's foot (tinea pedis) and other tinea infections. The fungi that cause tinea infections, such as jock itch, thrive in warm, moist areas. Susceptibility to tinea infection is increased by friction, poor hygiene, prolonged wetness of the skin such as from sweating, and minor skin or nail injuries. The body normally hosts a variety of microorganisms, including bacteria, mold-like fungi (dermatophytes) and yeast-like fungi (such as Candida). Some of these are useful to the body. Others can multiply rapidly and form infections. Tinea infections are somewhat contagious and can be passed by direct contact with affected individuals or by contact with contaminated items such as clothing. Jock itch is usually localized to the groin and does not ordinarily involve the scrotum or penis. It is generally less severe than other tinea infections, but may be persistent. Jock itch may also be a cause of intractable pruritus ani (anal itching and discomfort). Prevention Good general hygiene is vital in the prevention and treatment of jock itch. After bathing, antifungal or drying powders may be used as prevention if a man is susceptible to jock itch. Keep the area clean and dry, and avoid chafing. Underwear should be loose fitting. Avoid rough textured clothing. Launder athletic supporters frequently. Symptoms Itching of the groin, anal area, thigh skin fold Often sparing the genitals Rash without itching Skin rash Slightly raised patch Sharp borders Expanding or spreading, with clearing in the center Dry or scaly Blisters, open areas; may ooze, crust (uncommon) Skin, abnormally dark or light Skin redness or inflammation Signs and tests Diagnosis is primarily based on the appearance of the skin. A skin lesion biopsy (most commonly, scraping of the skin) with microscopic examination or culture may show the dermatophyte that causes jock itch. This test is not always necessary.
