    I developed a pretty bad case of Jock Itch while cutting wood this fall because the jeans I was wearing rubbed on my upper thigh and crotch. I have used Desenex, going nude, and white vinegar, and it has helped but it still is present.... Any ideas?

    tinactin

    or clortrimazole cream


    since fall is a long time...could be something else that needs a doctor visit

    What Spiff said. Unless you mean fall as in December 19th. Then that should have cleared up by now.

    You might try Blue Star Ointment...I've never tried it but I've heard good things about it.

    Swab with rubbing alcohol. It will dry out.

    It'll burn like all hell for a few seconds but it'll dry it up if you use it a few times.

    never had it, but clotrimazole cream should work. you can get it otc at any pharmacy. just make sure to use it for 1-2 weeks after symptoms disappear, or else it may come back.

    LOL No, i went nude in the house afterwards to keep the area dry. I went out to split wood this morning, it is 26 degrees here, and within an hour my crotch was sweating again. This sucks. I have trees to fall for next winter, and about a whole Walnut tree rounds to split. I guess I can work for about an hour or two, and then have to quit to dry off!

    Keep up with the rubbing alcohol. It's going to toughen that skin up.

    talc powder, keep it dry and let it breathe to open air a little more often. keep it clean, wash with warm soap and water at the end of the day and make sure it is dried off

    it is pretty common especially for athletes.....sweating then rubbing against
    the uniform or clothes.....one thing that helps are the "tights/girdles" they
    act as a barrier between the skin and clothing....Under Armour or Nike
    make good one's

    If really bad consider visiting your doctor and getting a prescription for ketaconazole (sp?) - it works. Period. Stops it in its tracks, but must reapply a few times to kill the spores.

    Also, new underwear... ditch the old stuff and get some new. Bleaching them might work, but really, get some new underwear. It really helps to keep clean :)

    the tights work well....especially if you are athlete and you run a lot
    they wick the sweat away from the skin and are a barrier from the
    uniform
