NEVER: "Ringworm" is not a real medical term. Most of the time I see a person referred for this they have something different. Usually this refers to tinea cruris or tinea corporis due to a dermaphyte. These affect only the surface of the skin, are easy to cure, and must be defined in terms of the source. WE need too know where it came from. Of course you may well have something other than a fungus.

Yes: Ring worm occurs in the groin quite commonly. You may try an over the counter remedy. For good health - Have a diet rich in fresh vegetables, fruits, whole grains, low fat milk and milk products, nuts, beans, legumes, lentils and small amounts of lean meats. Avoid saturated fats. Exercise at least 150 minutes/week and increase the intensity of exercise gradually. Do not use tobacco, alcohol, weed or street drugs in any form. Practice safe sex. Get HPV vaccine.
