“Jock Itch – A Treatment that Worked for
Me.”
Not sure why it is called
“Jock Itch” as I have never experienced anything itchy about it but have
experienced an extremely painful weeping of the skin, right between my legs.
For years, I would get this
rash\weeping, hurt, and fight it with antibacterial soap and eventually it
would go away but I kept getting it. Finally, on a regular visit to the doctor,
I had him look at my irritation and he told me it was “Jock Itch.” Heard of
Jock Itch but never knew what the symptoms were.
Ok, prescription cream for 2
weeks, over-the-counter creams and all seemed to work or worked for a while,
but as soon as I stopped using the cream, the irritation returned.
Finally, several months ago,
disparate to get lasting relief, I picked up new soap and also a can of Lotrim
AF spray. Now I am not a big fan of sprays of any kind but as I have tried
creams without much success, thought, why not?
Well, could be the soap
change or could be the spray, but no more irritation (hate “Jock Itch” as a
description). I think it is the spray as between my legs is now dry most of the
time and I think it was the sweat that resulted in the fungus growth.
So, if you have suffered and
continue to suffer, get one of the sprays a shot.
