Jock itch, known medically as tinea cruris, is a fungal infection that affects the groin area. Jock itch is caused by the same fungus that causes ringworm and athlete's foot.
The fungus that causes jock itch thrives in warm and moist environments. Therefore, the groin area provides the perfect habitat for the fungus to flourish.
