I've been using the perscription cream with anti-botics for about a week now. I have seen alittle difference, and the itching has gone down, but the rash is still pretty red & visible. I feel alittle better, and its easier to walk, but still... The red markings on my inner thigh seem to fade then become red again! Whats up? Has any of you had jock itch before? When will my skin go back to normal? it will eventually go back to normal, but you have to be dilligent with the meds, and also, try bleaching your under garments and jock straps (if you use one for anything). It is EXTREMELY contagious, and can spread to other parts of the body, including underarms, feet (known as athlete's foot), and head (also known as dandruff on the head. no kidding!!!) even if it looks like it's gone, continue the full treatment on your meds (creme). if you miss a day or a dose, start the treatment schedule over again. seriously, it's a pain to get rid of.
good luck!! try not wearing any sneakers or socks for a while, wear some flip flops until its been gone for a few days. Have you tried putting baby powder on it? that usually helps
in about a week to a week and a half it should get better |
