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.
