Fungal infections with the most frequent development on the groin are found in the literature as tinea cruris. The causative agents of fungus are mycotic organisms called Trichophyton rubrum. It is part of the family of the most aggressive fungal pathogen – Candida albicans of the genus Candida. They cause a disease called candidiasis (candidiasis). The infection in women spreads with the starting point – the vagina. From the vagina, they can spread to surrounding tissues if left untreated. Men are most often infected by sexual contact or by profuse sweating in the groin area. For this reason, it is not recommended for men to wear tight and tight clothing – jeans, tracksuits, tight cotton pants. Trichophyton rubrum fungi thrive in moist and warm environments. Wearing tight clothing with a bandage or leotard is a predisposing factor for infection. Clinical picture It is characteristic – severe itching caused by large red rashes under the groin and external genitalia. The rash may spread to the inner thighs. Usually, patients self-diagnose “candidiasis” due to the characteristic symptoms that the infection causes. Many preparations are available for the treatment of fungal infections at a competitive price. In case of a chronic form of the infection, medications with a more aggressive effect on microorganisms are prescribed. The most common preparations found in the pharmacy network are lotions containing miconazole and clotrimazole. They must be applied daily, according to the scheme written in the leaflet. The use of the lotion should continue for a month, even after the main symptoms have subsided, in order to achieve maximum protection against the re-development of the infection and possible transition to a chronic form. For a chronic form of the disease, antibiotics with a bactericidal effect are prescribed, which eliminate disease-causing microorganisms. Home Treatment Tips Wash the affected area regularly with warm water and neutral pH antibacterial soaps, dry well and apply baby powder to keep the area dry. There is also evidence for the effective use of cedarwood, jasmine and tea tree oil against groin fungus. Herbal medicine has a proven strong effect. A three-time smearing scheme during the day with diluted lemon juice is recommended. The solution is applied with a cotton swab to the affected areas.
