Why can't tinea cruris be completely eradicated?
Jock itch is a type of fungal infectious disease, which is quite contagious, mostly related to one's diet and lifestyle habits. For example, cross-contamination can occur when soaking in a public bath, swimming, or when someone with athlete's foot mixes socks and underwear during washing. This condition can be completely cured through proper treatment using antifungal creams. Recurrences, often due to not sticking to the treatment or re-infecting oneself post-recovery, can prevent complete eradication. Hence, it is crucial to maintain good dietary and lifestyle habits during and after treatment, ensuring personal hygiene. Avoid keeping pets, soaking in public baths or swimming in them, and always wash socks and underwear separately with thorough sun exposure for disinfection.
