Jock itch, athlete's foot, and ringworm are all types of fungal skin infections known collectively as tinea. They're caused by fungi called dermatophytes that live on skin, hair, and nails and thrive in warm, moist areas.
When fungus affects the skin of the body, it often produces itchy, red, raised, scaly patches that may blister and ooze. The patches often have sharply defined edges. They are often redder around the outside with normal skin tone in the center, creating the appearance of a ring.
Ringworm is a common skin infection that is caused by a fungus. It's called “ringworm” because it can cause a circular rash (shaped like a ring) that is usually red and itchy. Anyone can get ringworm.
Since fungi thrive in warm, moist environments, fungal skin infections can often develop in sweaty or damp areas that don't get much airflow. Some examples include the feet, groin, and folds of skin. Often, these infections appear as a scaly rash or discoloration of the skin that is often itchy.Jan 7, 2020
