Зображення 00206. Tinea cruris (perineal skin and buttocks)

Tinea cruris, which is common in male patients, may occupy wide areas on the perineal skin and buttocks. Seeing the active border helps in diagnostics. Very often the initial infection is found in the feet. If the plantar skin is also affected, oral medication with an effective antifungal drug is preferred. Skin sampling for mycology confirms the diagnosis.
