    Trichophyton rubrum is a type of fungus that commonly causes athlete's foot, jock itch, and ringworm. It infects the skin, nails, and hair, leading to itchy, red, and scaly patches. This dermatophyte is particularly notable for its ability to persist in the environment and on human hosts, making it a frequent culprit in recurrent fungal infections.
