Extractions: Tinea Infections: Athlete's Foot, Jock Itch and Ringworm What is tinea? Tinea is a fungus that can grow on your skin, hair or nails. As it grows, it spreads out in a circle, leaving normal-looking skin in the middle. This makes it look like a ring. At the edge of the ring, the skin is lifted up by the irritation and looks red and scaly. To some people, the infection looks like a worm is under the skin. Because of the way it looks, tinea infection is often called "ringworm." However, there really isn't a worm under the skin. How did I get a fungal infection? You can get a fungal infection by touching a person who has one. Some kinds of fungi live on damp surfaces, like the floors in public showers or locker rooms. You can easily pick up a fungus there. You can even catch a fungal infection from your pets. Dogs and cats, as well as farm animals, can be infected with a fungus. Often this infection looks like a patch of skin where fur is missing. What areas of the body are affected by tinea infections? Fungal infections are named for the part of the body they infect. Tinea corporis is a fungal infection of the skin on the body. ("Corporis" is the Latin word for body.) If you have this infection, you may see small, red spots that grow into large rings almost anywhere on your arms, legs or chest.

S uperficial fungal infections are among the most common skin diseases, affecting millions of people throughout the world. These infections, which occur in both healthy and immunocompromised persons, are caused by dermatophytes, yeasts and nondermatophyte molds. Effective treatment can reduce the duration of symptoms in patients with superficial fungal infections. Dermatophytes, specifically Trichophyton, Epidermophyton and Microsporum species, are responsible for most superficial fungal infections. The estimated lifetime risk of acquiring a dermatophyte infection is between 10 and 20 percent. The term "tinea" refers exclusively to dermatophyte infections. Tinea infections are classified according to their anatomic location. (Pityriasis versicolor, sometimes referred to as tinea versicolor, is caused by

T inea infections are superficial fungal infections caused by the three genera of dermatophytes, Trichophyton, Microsporum and Epidermophyton. Commonly, the infections caused by these organisms are named for the sites involved. Tinea capitis refers to a dermatophyte infection of the head, tinea barbae affects the beard area, tinea corporis occurs on the body surface, tinea manuum is limited to the hands, tinea pedis to the feet, and tinea unguium infects the toenails. These names do not distinguish between species (for example, tinea capitis may be caused by Trichophyton or Microsporum genera). Trichophyton rubrum is the most common pathogen causing dermatomycoses, including tinea pedis, tinea corporis, and tinea cruris.
