What is tinea cruris?
Inguinal Mycosis also called Mycotic Intertrigo of the Groin or Tinea inguinum is one of the most frequent forms of Mycosis.
It mainly affects men and presents itself as a redness that starts from the inguinal crease and spreads to the inner part of the thigh.
What are the causes of tinea cruris?
The formation of Mycosis is favored by the humidity that remains present in the inguinal fold after washing or after swimming in open water by not immediately changing the wet swimsuit.
It is very common among athletes both due to the use of clothing with synthetic fibres, frequent washing and the usual use of communal showers.
Among the athletes most affected by this phenomenon we find cyclists who are particularly affected following the multitude of hours spent on a bicycle where sweat creates a hot, humid environment.
How to treat tinea cruris
In case of inguinal mycosis, it is important to keep the affected area dry and clean to avoid further irritation. It is advisable to wear loose, breathable, natural fiber clothing and change your underwear frequently. To effectively treat inguinal mycosis, it is recommended to consult a dermatologist, who will be able to prescribe an appropriate antifungal treatment.
- As a cosmetic adjuvant to treatment, it is recommended to apply 2S Cream once daily until the redness disappears (usually no more than one week)
PREVENTION
Apply 2S Cream before long training sessions in the gym using communal showers.
CLEANSING
Use Eudermic Cleansing Base, a cleanser that respects skin protection factors.
