Hey hey all. I just thought I'd put down an interesting tidbit that just hit me. You know jock itch? I mean real jock itch?
It's called Tinea Cruris mainly caused by a fungus called Trichophyton rubrum. Yeah I know I mentioned it in my little essay like medical rant but here's some more info on it. It is sometimes characterized by a ringworm pattern of infection on the skin starting in the crural fold of the crotch (But it's not really caused by a ringworm so don't worry guys).
My! All us girls always thought you boys were just rude and barbaric. ohohoh. Well now it seems that you're gross, rude and barbaric. Ahahaha. no just joking, this condition can happen to women too, only it's very rare.
But seriously I thought jock itch was when you guys just scratched vigorously at your crotch because a hair went the wrong way or something. It appears that is occurs mostly in post pubertal males, usually in the summer due to sweating or in the winter after wearing too many layers of clothes and gets worst as moisture accumulates. It might improve if the moist environment is eliminated. It says that most guys affected are unaware of the infection.
So guys, if you have something that's itching and burning in the southern hemisphere there, it's probably a good idea to get it checked out. For those of you that have had Tinea Cruris before, absorbent powders, not necessarily medicated, can help to control moisture and prevent re-infection.
Tinea infections are not only limited to the crotch, like all skin diseases, it can spread to almost everywhere, where there is skin, which is basically everywhere. Another widely known Tinea infection is Tinea Pedis, commonly known as athlete's foot and I tell you it doesn't look like a walk in the park. No pun intended.

I swear this interest in the distrubing is like a disorder or something. Maybe I should think about going into something like infectious diseases or something, it can't be that much more different then immunology. Anyways, I'm off to finish typing my psychology notes now. So in the future I can screw with people's heads. Ohohoho.
Chow dudes!
