Tinea Cruris treatment in Cuauhtémoc

Jock itch is a skin infection caused by fungi that affects the groin area, the folds, and, sometimes, the inner part of the thighs.

Frequent symptoms: reddish patches with well-defined edges, itching, burning, and scaling, which tend to spread gradually.

Common causes: moisture, sweating, heat, and contact with contaminated surfaces or objects favor its appearance.

Which specialist treats it? The dermatologist is the professional who assesses skin infections and provides guidance on the care of the area. If the lesion persists, spreads, or comes back despite usual hygiene measures, it is advisable to have it checked by a professional before applying treatments on your own.
