Tinea Cruris in a Male Patient

Tinea cruris in a male patient. Tinea cruris in a male patient presenting typically with a red, accentuated margin. The outer margin is the primary site for sampling a specimen for mycology. Topical therapy usually cures tinea cruris. However, also the skin and, particularly, the feet should be investigated for possibly coexistent fungal infection. Plantar tinea or onychomycosis require oral medication.
