1. Tinea cruris
2. Tinea pedis
3. Tinea corporis
4. Tinea capitis
Correct Answer: 2
Rationale 1: Tinea cruris affects the groin, perineum, and perianal regions of the body.
Rationale 2: Tinea pedis affects the feet.
Rationale 3: Tinea corporis affects relatively hairless skin in places other than the feet.
Rationale 4: Tinea capitis affects the hair of the head, eyebrows, or eyelashes.
Global Rationale: Fungal infections of the skin and hair are called dermatomycoses. These infections are named by their Latin terms, beginning with tinea. For example, tinea capitis is an infection of the scalp, and tinea pedis is an infection of the feet. Tinea cruris affects the groin, perineum and perianal regions. Tinea corporis affects relatively hairless skin in places other than the feet.
