Hello,

Take care of your hygiene. Keep your private area clean and dry. Change your clothes and undies every day. Wear cotton undies and soft cotton clothes. Undue sweating, moist wet genital area will cause jock itch to develop and cause symptoms that you have been experiencing. You can apply ointment clotrimazole, on the affected area for relief. Take antihistamine at bedtime to reduce & control symptoms of itching.

Do not touch or scratch as it will cause spread of infection. Applying hydrocortisone ointment or calamine lotion will reduce symptoms. Cold compress is also very helpful. If the infection is resistant, take antifungal medicine orally. Avoid any sexual activity for a couple of days.

Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Nupur K., General & Family Physician
