What Causes Ringworm? Certain fungi can help the body, but the dermatophyte types that cause ringworm irritate the skin instead. These fungi live off the dead tissues of your skin, hair, and nails. Dermatophytes thrive in warm, moist areas, such as the skin folds of the groin area or between the toes. If you have a fungal infection like athlete's foot (tinea pedis), it could spread to your groin and cause jock itch. Take these steps to avoid that: Treat the infection with an athlete's foot anti-fungal medicine. Use a separate towel on your feet or at least dry your groin before your feet.
