Is having jock itch for 2 years considered late-stage?

Tinea cruris lasting for two years does not indicate an advanced stage. Tinea cruris is a fungal skin disease caused by dermatophyte infection affecting the groin, perineum, and buttocks. It mainly presents with localized redness, papules, blisters, scaling, itching, and other symptoms. The severity of the condition is not directly related to the duration of the disease, but rather more closely associated with factors such as the extent of infection, treatment methods, and individual differences. The reason tinea cruris may persist for several years could be due to incomplete treatment or repeated infections. However, with proper, full-course antifungal treatment and attention to personal hygiene, tinea cruris can be completely cured. Therefore, the duration of tinea cruris should not be used as a criterion for determining whether it has reached an advanced stage.
