The cure for jock itch?


Is there any powders, medication, or creams to get rid of jock itch? Also what are the signs as well, Does it smell funky or something?

The best treatment for jock itch is good old fashion corn starch and it is much cheaper.

Jock Itch Treatment
Jock itch is best treated with topical creams or ointments since the fungus only affects the top layer of skin. Many of the antifungal medications require a prescription, but there are three that can be bought over-the-counter (OTC). The OTC antifungals are tolnaftate (Tinactin), clotrimazole (Lotrimin), and miconazole (Micatin). Creams used to treat jock itch should be applied twice a day for at least two weeks. Application can be stopped after the rash has been gone for one week. Creams should be applied to the rash and also at least two finger widths beyond the rash. Many people with jock itch also have athlete's foot and these same creams can be applied to the feet. However, treatment of athlete's foot can take up to four weeks. If the rash is very red and itchy, especially if it has blisters at the edge, a topical steroid such as hydrocortisone can be applied also. Steroids should not be used in the groin alone without consulting a health care provider since steroids alone can make the rash of jock itch much worse.

I just solved that problem..Try:

Lotrimin....anti fungal...no scent...ointment.

It is over the counter...inexpensive.

Signs?? Intense Itching, red. Much discomfort.

Try Lotrimin for week...2 times a day.
