What are the differences between jock itch and candida albicans?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Skin vs. mucosa: Jock itch (tinea cruris) is caused by a fungus, but not by candida, which generally affects mucous membranes, not skin. Jock itch is caused by dermatophytic fungi (fungi that infect skin).
