I think i have jock itch???


im 11 and yester day after gym class my balls started to itch alot adn after school i like always had my hands down there if this is jock itch can i wash it or something or any other cures (name all possible) if its any thing else just tell me

I agree with the others that it could be from a fungus infection. Jock itch is the same fungus that causes athlete's foot. The groin is dark, sweaty (especially after gym class) and warm perfect place for fungus to grow.

If there is any chance you or someone you know has been sexually active, there is a chance it is pubic lice.

Over the counter products can treat either. Any cream for athlete's foot will treat jock itch and any lice treatment can be used for pubic lice. If you have been sexually active however, you should get tested for other illnesses.

I recommend talking to your parents either way, but if it is pubic lice, definitely talk to them. You will need to wash bedding you have used.

um katty..the kids 11 years old.. Report It

There are over the counter creams that will help; however, you say you are 11 years old. Therefore, you should talk with one of your parents, whichever one of them you would feel more comfortable with, and let them help you with this problem. Good luck.

It is a fungal infection, perhaps from your jockeys. You can get some medication from your doctor. This usually only occurs in boys with pubic hair and at eleven you may or may not have pubic hair so see your doctor. Don't leave this untreated.
