Why can jock itch, athlete's foot, and diaper rash all be treated with the same medication?

They are all caused by the same fungus.
jock itch, and athlete's foot are just cutesy names for fungus.
Most of the time regular diaper rash cream works, but sometimes babies get rash that only increase with regular cream. If this happens, try the gynolotrimen on the babies bum.

It's basically the same fungus. It loves warm, wet places.

It can be treated like a fungus, but if the diaper rash is ot diaper rash from fungus, it will ot work adn be caredfl ck w/doc before using grown up meds on baby

it comes from similiar bacteria creating similiar fungus
