4 About Fungal Skin Infections There are several common skin infections caused by one or more types of fungi (the plural form of fungus ). These infections are known by their medical name, tinea (TIN-ee-uh). Sometimes fungi are named for the place where they occur on the body. For example, tinea pedis means fungus of the foot. Are you at risk for fungal skin infections? Fungal skin infections are common. Here are 2 ways that these infections may develop and spread: 1. Conditions on your skin encourage fungi to grow and cause symptoms Fungi thrive when your skin is warm and moist. Sweating a lot and/or wearing tight-fitting clothing can allow fungi to grow, especially between the folds of the skin. 2. You catch a new fungal infection from someone or something else You can get a fungal skin infection through direct contact with people or animals who have a fungal skin infection. You can also get a fungal skin infection by coming in contact with contaminated objects such as shoes, clothing, hairbrushes, bed linens, towels, floors, carpets, floor mats, or similar objects. 4

5 Where s the infection? Fungal infections can occur just about anywhere on the skin. Ringworm (tinea corporis) Ringworm is a fungal skin infection affecting the body. It is called ringworm because the infection sometimes appears as a red, round or ring-shaped rash, but it is not caused by worms. Jock itch (tinea cruris) Jock itch is a fungal skin infection that affects the groin area, including the genitals and upper inner thighs. The name might make you think that only athletes get jock itch, but it can affect anyone. Jock itch can cause a red, itchy, burning rash. 5

6 About Athlete s Foot Athlete s foot (tinea pedis) Athlete s foot is a common foot infection caused by fungi. It can occur anywhere on the foot, but it often appears between the toes or on the bottom or sides of the feet. How to know if you might have it Athlete s foot appears as a scaly, cracked, blistered, and/or peeling rash. It often causes a stinging, itching, or burning sensation. 6

7 Watch out for athlete s foot! People increase their risk of developing athlete s foot by walking barefoot in damp, contaminated public areas such as locker rooms and showers. An infection can also spread from one part of the body to another. For example, athlete s foot may lead to jock itch if an affected part of the body, or a contaminated object such as a towel, comes in contact with an unaffected area. 7
