Yes, tinea cruris-primary is moderately contagious. This infection can affect both humans and some animals so it is important to wash your hands if you know you have the infection.
A contagious affection of the skin due to the presence of a vegetable parasite, and forming ring-shaped discolored patches covered with vesicles or powdery scales. It occurs either on the body, the face, or the scalp. Different varieties are distinguished as Tinea circinata, Tinea tonsurans, etc., but all are caused by the same parasite (a species of Trichophyton).
I keep reading that this is not contagious however I contracted it from my boyfriend who had large amounts of it all over his torso, back, and arms. We dated for nearly two years and I never got it but once he moved in two months later I had it. :) If they don't understand what causes it to be triggered at all they shouldnt go stating that it's not contagious. It most certainly is. Maybe it's just rarely contagious.
