Both bacteria and fungi normally live in harmony off of the dead cells on the surface of your skin. When you take an antibiotic, you disrupt the symbiotic harmony between the two varieties of biological fauna, and balance can only be reached by using an anti-fungal agent. On the feet this is called Athlete's Foot (tinea pedis), and on the crotch it is called Jock Itch (tinea cruris).
