What causes Jock Itch?
Jock itch is a very common fungal infection of the groin and upper thighs. It belongs to a series of fungal skin infections called tinea (pronounced: tih-nee-ah), and it's a cousin of athlete's foot and ringworm (you should know that ringworm isn't really a worm - it's a fungus). The proper medical name for all of these types of fungal infections is a tinea infection, and the correct medical name for jock itch is tinea cruris (pronounced: tih-nee-ah krur-us).

Jock itch, like all other other tinea infections, is usually caused by several types of mold-like fungi called dermatophytes (pronounced: dur-mah-tuh-fites) though they are not as fully as the little cartoon dermatophytes in the lamisil commercial. Everyone has microscopic fungi and bacteria living on our bodies, and dermatophytes are some of  them. Dermatophytes live in the dead tissues of your skin, hair, and nails and grow really well in warm, moist areas like the crotch and inside thighs. So, when your groin area gets sweaty and isn't dried properly, it provides a perfect environment for the fungi to multiply and thrive.

Who is most likely to get Jock Itch?
You don't have to be a jock to get an itch in your crotch (rhymes doesn't it?). Jock itch is got it's name because many athletes or "jocks" get it, but it is anyone who tends to sweat a lot. It most often affects men, but ladies can get it, too. Certain things make jock itch more likely to develop, for instance sweating while playing sports, hot and humid weather, outdoor work or sports, friction from wearing tight clothes for extended periods (like bathing suits), sharing clothes with others, diabetes mellitus, or overweight.
