7. Jock Itch

One of the warmest parts of a human’s body is the groin, which makes it a fertile ground for fungus. Hence the area is prone to fungi infection or ringworm. The name Jock Itch was derived due to the fact that this infection usually affects athletes and people who sweat a lot. It commonly starts with reddening of the skin and spreads from groin to inner thighs.

Usually, crescent-shaped rashes develop into ring-like ones bordered with tiny blisters around it. Besides itchiness, jock itch can also cause burning sensation to some instances as well due to scaling and flaking of the skin.
