Tinea Corporis Root of Jock Itch, Ringworm and Athlete’s Foot

Did you know the same fungus, tinea corporis, that causes Ringworm also causes Jock Itch and Athlete’s Foot? The location of the fungal infection may differ, but the root of the problem is the same. The fungus may start in the genital area for Jock Itch fungal infections, but if not treated immediately it can and will spread to other areas of the body such as the feet, armpits, thighs and any other warm area that tends to remain moist.

It is important when treating Jock Itch you keep the area as dry as possible. Moist, wet environments tend to aid Jock Itch, Ringworm and Athlete’s Foot to thrive and spread.

Another useful tip is to do your research when finding a Jock Itch treatment. Many treatments out there will relieve the symptoms of Jock Itch, but will not kill the fungus causing Jock Itch. It’s vital that you not only relieve the Jock Itch symptoms but kill the fungus causing the fungal infection.

Extreme cases of Jock Itch can eventually turn into secondary bacterial infections. The more you scratch Jock Itch the more prone you become to developing open sores. The more open sores you create by scratching the more at risk you are of developing a secondary bacterial infection.

It’s difficult to not scratch Jock Itch, Ringworm or Athlete’s Foot. The itch is insatiable and it’s hard to resist the urge to scratch. Scratching can also cause the fungal infection to spread quicker.
