  • Tinea corporis: Infection of body surfaces other than the feet, groin, face, scalp hair, or beard hair
  • Tinea pedis: Infection of the foot
  • Tinea cruris: Infection of the groin
  • Tinea capitis: Infection of scalp hair
  • Tinea unguium (dermatophyte onychomycosis): Infection of the nail
