How can you tell if a rash is psoriasis or jock itch?

Different appearance: Sometimes it can be difficult, but psoriasis and tinea cruris (jock itch) have different 'typical' appearances. Psoriasis is usually patches of reddened skin with flaking, or 'scaling' of the involved skin, it is not as itchy as jock itch. Jock itch is typically red, with small patches and an outline of the rash with a reddened border.

Family practice : Jock itch is caused by a fungus and rash is in groin region. Psoriasis is a chronic skin condition usually dry scalely lesions on elbows and knees. Steroids , not antifungals, is treatment.
