Get some Cruex. It'll clear up in a few days.

You can get over the counter medication for it. Anything anti-fungal should do the trick. If left untreated it will probably spread or keep getting worse. He may need medication since he has had it this long. His parents need to know so they can make sure it goes away.

Lamasil, Lotrimin,

Get tough--tough actin' Tinactin!
It's what I use, and it works fast. Apply it for a week to make sure the fungus is all gone, even if the itch is gone before then.

Your friends must have some seriously red, itchy balls by now.

There are over-the counter antifungal creams that can treat most (but not all) cases of jock itch. Such as Lamisil or Lotrimin, etc.

Jock itch will usually remain with a person indefinitely, unless they kill off the fungus causing it with proper antifungal treatments.

I agree with Lisab.

His parents need to know, because if it is untreated it can get worse. Also, with an infection that has lasted so long he might need prescription meds.

My brother had jock itch as a teen. He told his parents and it wasn't a problem at all, they just helped him get it treated!!

If the parents think it's a STD, then he can have a school nurse or family doctor tell them the truth. It is *not* a STD.
