WHAT IS JOCK ITCH:
So, let’s begin with ‘What is it?’ Now, if you’ve ever suffered from Jock itch, you probably know how it can be an uncomfortable and unpleasant experience. Jock itch is a fungal skin infection of the groin that affects the upper thighs, your bum, and the lower abdomen region.
Fungi that flourish in warm, damp conditions, such as sweaty, wet, or tight-fitting clothes, cause it. Jock itch is very infectious, and you can contract it by coming into contact with contaminated towels and clothing, or by coming into contact with someone who is affected.
If you have an athlete's foot infection, the fungus can sometimes be transferred from other parts of your skin, such as your feet. It’s a common problem for male athletes, which is how it got its name. But you don’t have to play a sport or be a guy to get it.
