I've had jock itch for years and years and the only thing that has actually worked (up to a month or more no rash) Food grade hydrogen peroxide (between 3 - 9%) Just soak the area as much as you can. I soak up a ball of tissue and apply to the area and leave for soak in good. Skin may whiten around the area but it goes back to normal after 15 minutes. I also take fluconazole for the internal cleanse. But without peroxide nothing happens. Sometimes I have used normal over the counter creams followed by a wash and a peroxide wash. Then take the fluconazole after rash is clear. TRIPLE ATTACK! I bloody hate this stuff! (male - 25)

I suffered from it continuously for about 10 years. I tried ointments, powders, and sprays none of which had any effect. Then I switched from white cotton underwear to moisture wicking polyester. The problem went away in a couple of weeks, and hasn't been back for last 8 years.

My jock itch was unbearable itching around the penis. Perhaps the worst irritation I had experienced thus far in my life. I had been applying a lot of topical cream, and after a few months visited a doctor and they had said it was not jock itch because they would be able to tell. Well a little while later and after trying multipole antibiotics, I ended up realizing that I had a small rash around my anus so I began applying powder spray to that that area and now the itching is dyeing down in the groin area. This was not fun and I feel stupid for not trying this procedure prior to visiting the doctor three times. Gosh, so be careful and remember that I had a case where the itch was severe in one area with no signs but the infected area appears to be behind.

My doctor prescribed Triamcinolone.025 lotion which works wonders for my jock itch.

I have found using an antiperspirant deodorant is most effective. It keeps the area dry and it heals itself.

On the occasions when I have taken a really hot bath (to try and ease back ache for instance) a reoccurrence of Jock Itch follows within a few hours. Anti fungal talcum powder and Lamisil helps.

I have chronic jock itch every 6-8 months. A new cure that has just been tried is washing with Clorox before dial yellow soap. After drying with a hair dryer then I used clotrimazole, I have done this for about ten days. I used a small amount in my hand, washed with gold shortly thereafter and now apply antifungal power to hopefully avoid infection. This appears to be working ok after using lamisil, diflucan, and doryx. No more itching. I will repost again.

I have been suffering from jock itch for about 6-7 years. In spite of taking medication, this problem does not seem to go. However I just realized that I often get the Athletes foot problem. Maybe this is what was causing all the trouble. Thanks for the article. It has helped me to be more aware about the Jock itch problem.
