Jock itch gets its name because it's common in athletes. It's also common in people who sweat a lot or who are overweight.
Onychomycosis is a fungal infection of the nail unit. When onychomycosis is caused by dermatophytes, it is called tinea unguium. The term onychomycosis encompasses not only the dermatophytes but the yeasts and saprophytic molds infections as well.
The ICD-10-CM code that was billed was B35. 1 (Onychomycosis).

Tinea incognita (often spelled incognito) is an atypical presentation of tinea infection when topical steroid applications are used incorrectly for the treatment of dermatophytosis. The disease extends despite improvement of itch.
In tinea incognita, the epidermis is often mildly spongiotic, and the dermal inflammatory infiltrate is less heavy than usual dermatophytosis. Multiple branched, septate hyphae and small spores are present in the stratum corneum.
Dermatophytosis is a clinical condition caused by fungal infection of the skin in humans, pets such as cats, and domesticated animals such as sheep, goats and cattle. The most common term for the infection, "ringworm", is a misnomer, since the condition is caused by fungi of several different species and not by parasitic worms.

Tinea incognita is the name given to a fungal skin infection when the clinical appearance has been altered by inappropriate treatment, usually a topical steroid cream. The result is that the original infection slowly extends.
Anti- inflammatory creams that can induce tinea incognita include: Topical steroids. Tacrolimus ointment. Pimecrolimus cream. Tinea incognita can also be caused by systemic steroids. Underlying diseases may predispose individuals to infection, especially: Immune suppressive drugs.
Tinea incognita is due to dermatophyte fungal infection ( tinea ), most often when it affecting the trunk and/or limbs ( tinea corporis ). Trichophyton rubrum is the most common organism to cause tinea corporis and tinea incognita in New Zealand.
After stopping a steroid cream, tinea incognita becomes very inflamed and more fungal elements may be seen on microscopy than usual. The responsible organism generally grows promptly in culture. If a skin biopsy is performed, the pathology of tinea incognita reveals the organisms .
Compared with an untreated tinea corporis, tinea incognita: Has a less raised margin, Is less scaly, More pustular, More extensive, And more irritable. There may also be secondary changes caused by long term use of a topical steroid such as: Atrophy (thin skin, stretch marks ( striae) in the skin folds).
Tinea incognita can be avoided if: Patients do not use topical steroids to treat undiagnosed skin conditions. Medical practitioners consider the diagnosis of dermatophyte infection in any scaly or pustular rash that has a prominent and irregular border, and is unilateral or asymmetrical in distribution.
