Being Overweight

Being overweight can increase the risk of a person developing jock itch. This can occur because folds of fat or skin create warm, moist areas prone to tinea cruris. Being overweight can potentially cause or increase the risk of other health issues.

If being overweight is contributing to a problem with jock itch, losing weight may help prevent recurring infections. Improving eating habits and getting enough exercise may help a person reduce their weight.7‘Losing Weight.’ Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, 17 Aug. 2020, www.cdc.gov/healthyweight/losing/weight/index.html
