Share :
Jock Itch? This term of skin infection is very uncommon in Indonesia society. But, most people will understand when we call it an itching in inner thighs and groin area.
Jock Itch is a type of fungal skin infection that often suffered by Millennials, especially those who have active and dynamic daily activities. Excessive Sweat that is not immediately cleaned makes them vulnerable to the infection which is caused by wet body and clothes.
Generally, men are more susceptible in contracting Jock Itch, but women are also possible to get the infection. Peoples with an overweight problem are also vulnerable because they have thick skin folds that accumulating excessive sweat and make their skin more wet.
Jock Itch Symptoms
Jock Itch or Tinea Cruris is a type of fungal skin infection that causes a red ring rash on the groin area and inner thighs.
