    Tinea cruris in men is generally caused by fungal infection, or it may be caused by direct or indirect contact infection. It needs to be treated with medication according to the guidance of a doctor.

    1. Fungal infection

    Tinea cruris in men is a skin condition that may be caused by a fungal infection. Active treatment is required, and topical drug treatment such as ketoconazole cream, miconazole nitrate cream, or compound clotrimazole cream is required according to the doctor's guidance.

    2. Direct contact

    Fungal infections can be transmitted through direct contact, so close contact with a patient and failure to pay attention to personal hygiene may lead to the development of tinea cruris. You need to maintain good personal hygiene and try not to have sex while you are sick.

    3. Indirect contact

    If you come into contact with the patient's contaminated items, it may also cause indirect contact and cause tinea cruris. Antifungal drugs such as itraconazole capsules, fluconazole capsules or terbinafine hydrochloride tablets can be taken under the guidance of a doctor.

    In addition, it may also be caused by factors such as low immunity, diabetes, or chronic wasting disease. It is necessary to maintain personal cleanliness and hygiene and avoid eating spicy or greasy food.
