Cutaneous mycoses are perhaps the most common fungal infections of humans and are usually referred to as tinea (Latin for worm or ringworm). Examples include Tinea corporis, which is ringworm of the body; T. cruris, which is ringworm of the groin ("jock itch"); T. capitis, which is ringworm of the scalp and hair; Tinea barbae, which is ringworm of the beard; T. unguium, which is ringworm of the nail; and T. pedis, which is ringworm of the feet ("athlete's foot").
