Answer:

Wearing restrictive clothing that trap in the moisture can cause tinea cruris. Men are affected more than women because of apposition of the scrotum and thigh.

Step-by-step explanation:

The primary risk factors are associated with a moist environment (warm weather, wet and restrictive clothing, obesity causing constant apposition of skinfolds). Flare-ups occur more often during summer.
