In brief Jock itch, an extremely common skin infection, is caused by dermatophytic fungi. Usually the condition is easily diagnosed and responds well to treatment. Therapy consists of administering antifungal medications and keeping the warm, moist environment of the groin area as cool and dry as possible. After the skin disturbance clears, measures should be taken to prevent recurrent infection.
