Tiña crural - Symptom

Nombres alternativos

Infección de la ingle por hongos; Infección micótica en la ingle; Tiña inguinal; Dermatofitosis de la ingle; Prurito en la ingle; Tiña de la ingle

Síntomas:

  • Prurito en la ingle, en la zona anal, en el pliegue de la piel del muslo
  • Parches rojos, levantados y descamativos que pueden formar ampollas y supurar. Estas manchas a menudo tienen bordes muy definidos, son más rojas alrededor de la parte exterior con un tono normal de piel en el centro.
  • Piel anormalmente oscura o clara

Pruebas y exámenes:

El médico generalmente puede diagnosticar la tiña crural sobre la base de la apariencia de su piel.

Por lo regular, no se necesitan exámenes. En caso de necesitarse exámenes para confirmar el diagnóstico, se puede hacer ya sea un cultivo o una biopsia de lesión de piel (por ejemplo, un raspado de piel). Igualmente, se puede hacer un examen de KOH (hidróxido de potasio) en el consultorio para un diagnóstico rápido.
