Yes, women can get tinea. The term applies to the group of fungal diseases which includes athlete's foot, ringworm and jock itch. Jock itch is less common in women, but they can get it. More generally, tinea occurs most in areas where sweat can build up, such as under the breasts.
If you have athlete's foot, then you'd want to put on clean socks before putting on your underwear, or you can spread it to your crotch.
