“Evitare il contatto pelle a pelle”, hanno avvertito gli inglesi, poiché il “super fungo” che attacca l’inguine e il sedere “si diffonde rapidamente”

Is this another one of those things that is practically only spread by sexual contact, but no expert wants to say that?

So it’s a parasitical mould that thrives by being an irritating taint?

Petition to name it Cordenceps.

Users of Reddit are not at risk from this fungus

It’s not just these areas, it’s also causing bad nail disease. The problem has been caused by unregulated pharmaceutical drug selling in other countries- people buying the antifungal drugs without prescription which has allowed resistant fungi to develop. Until the last couple of years, almost all trichophyton fungi were super responsive to terbinafine but this strain is now resistant.

I’ve just realised that I have this

I caught athletes foot from a lodger I used to have, and while I used anti-fungal cream and bleached floors/bath tub it always seemed to come back.

Admittedly I would find myself itching my feet, then obviously as a man’s hands wander, I would scratch my balls or ass.

My ass, groin, balls and thighs have been itching for about a year. I’ve used anti-fungal cream in the affected areas plenty of times and it never seemed to go away, while the athletes foot has.

I’ve only had sexual contact with women, and not since my groin area was itching.

I’ve had bigger problems since then so going to the doctors was not my priority, though I may have to get this checked out.
