When you have had Tinea Cruris you need to be very careful that it does not come back again and you should try very hard to follow these steps and prevent it from coming back. Just because it heals up does not mean that it won't ever come back. These are some easy steps to follow but very important ones.

Prevention For Tinea Cruris:

- Make sure that the infected area stays clean and dry. Whenever it is wet try and dry the wet spot off right away and don't let it stay there for hours at a time.

- Make sure that you wash your underwear and clothing plus athletic equipment daily. If you can rotate it out that is great but remember even if you rotate it out you will still need to wash it everyday.

- Do not wear clothes that are very tight and the texture of the clothes should be smooth and not rough.

Talk with your doctor about other ways that you can prevent Tinea Cruris from coming back. This does not need to be a one time change but it should become a life style change.
