A fungal infection on the buttocks is likely tinea cruris (jock itch), a common dermatological condition that causes skin peeling and itching. It is also contagious, and its occurrence is closely linked to personal hygiene habits. Poor hygiene significantly increases the risk of developing such fungal infections. Therefore, maintaining good personal hygiene in daily life is essential.
