Underwear and Health Warning: Dr. Samuel Choudhury, a GP, warns that a common mistake with how we put on underwear could lead to a fungal infection known as “crotch rot,” caused by the same fungus behind ringworm and jock itch. The infection can spread from the feet if they have foot fungus, especially when putting on underwear barefoot. Dr. Choudhury suggests wearing socks first to act as a barrier and prevent the spread of fungal spores to the groin. If you experience persistent itching in the groin, check your feet for foot fungus.
