              \n
            • \ud83d\udea8 The rash is spreading quickly, painful, or oozing.<\/li>\n

              \ud83d\udc9b Bottom Line<\/strong><\/h2>\n

              Ringworm and jock itch are\u00a0common fungal infections<\/strong>\u00a0and are usually\u00a0treatable<\/strong>, but getting the\u00a0right diagnosis<\/strong>\u00a0is important.<\/p>\n
