Yes, "jock itch" is a common term for a fungal infection.
It is also known as ringworm, or athlete's foot. When it's on your groin, (jock itch) it's tineas cruris. When it's on your skin, it's tineas corporis (ringworm). When it's on your feet, it's called tineas pedis (athlete's foot). When it's on your scalp, tineas capitis.
The treatment is the same for most of these, an anti-fungal over the counter cream such as miconazole or clotrimazole.
It is highly contagious. You should wash and sanitize clothing daily that touches the affected area.
