The jock itch can be cured by keeping yourself dry and clean, changing underwear frequently, and using an OTC antifungal cream like Lotrimin or something similar. Check at your store and read the labels. If you wear briefs, you might consider switching to boxers, to allow more air circulation.

For the bad breath, first make sure you are keeping your teeth clean and flossed, especially after eating garlic, onion, or similar foods. When you brush your teeth, also brush your tongue to get rid of more bacteria. If that doesn't work try some mouthwash, and if that doesn't work, check with a doctor. The bad breath could be a symptom of something else going on, and also some people are more prone to it. The doctor may be able to suggest something else. Good luck!

Well, we have TWO different conditions here, so I will make my best...
Bad breath is known as Halitosis, it can be transient meaning that is temporary like the breath all the people have when they wake up, which comes from 1) Ketosis and 2) there's not enough saliva to wash the mouth up, as we sleep.
Chronic halitosis might be caused by bacteria, and is very difficult to tell, because bacteria can be located everywhere in the upper digestive tract. It might be Streptococcus mutans (the bacteria that causes cavities). I advise you to see your doctor, he will take some samples from your mouth and cultivate them in order to know what bacteria you have, or other tests. There's nothing we can do right now.

Jock itch, is a fungal infection in the skin known as tinea cruris. These fungus like places that are wet so what we'll do is the following: you are going to shower everyday (and everytime you sweat), and get this shampoo to wash the area: NIZORAL (nizoral has ketoconazole, which is an antifungical drug) afterwards you're going to dry very well the area and apply some powder like TOLNAFTATE other antifungical (you can buy it as Tinactin) to keep the area dry.
Wear loose underwear such as boxer shorts.
Wash your underwear carefully, avoid sweating..
Be mindful of clothing storage. In particular, because of the ideal growing conditions for fungus, avoid storage:
* of exercise clothing without washing it,
* in damp or moist areas,
* in dark places, and
* with poor ventilation.

Follow this for two weeks

Most cases (85–90%), bad breath originates in the mouth, sinus and throat. The intensity of bad breath differs during the day, due to eating certain foods (such as garlic, onions, meat, fish, and cheese), obesity, smoking, and alcohol consumption. Since the mouth is exposed to less oxygen and is inactive during the night, the odor is usually worse upon awakening ("morning breath"). Bad breath may be transient, often disappearing following eating, brushing one's teeth, flossing, or rinsing with mouthwash.
Causes:
1, Tongue, A common location is the tongue. Tongue bacteria produce malodorous compounds and fatty acids, and account for 60 to 70% of all cases of mouth-related bad breath. Methods used against bad breath, such as mints, mouth sprays, mouthwash or gum, only temporarily mask the odors created by the bacteria on the tongue, but cannot cure bad breath because they do not remove the source of the bad breath.
Cleaning the tongue - Many companies promote tongue scrapers as a bad breath cure however the bacteria on the tongue can’t be removed with a scraper or brush as they live between the taste buds. Use a tongue scrapper to reduce the food source for bacteria but don’t expect it to cure bad breath. The method of stopping bad breath from the tongue involves rebalancing the bacteria load. Once tongue bacteria are in balance bad breath will cease. For this complex procedure you’ll need to consult Oraltech Labs program at http://www.oraltech.com.au
2. Mouth, There are over 600 types of bacteria found in the average mouth. Other parts of the mouth may also contribute to the overall odor, but are not as common as the back of the tongue. These locations are, in order of descending prevalence: inter-dental and sub-gingival niches, faulty dental work, food-impaction areas in between the teeth, abscesses, and unclean dentures. To fix you will need a dentist to examine your teeth and repair any faults found. Or use Oraltech Labs Unusual Causes Of Bad Breath.
3. Gum disease, advanced periodontal disease is a common cause. Waste products from the anaerobic bacteria growing below the gum line (sub gingival) have a foul smell and have been clinically demonstrated to produce a very intense bad breath. To fix remove the tartar or hard plaque and friable tissue with a soft bristle tooth brush angled on the gum line. This has been shown to improve mouth odor considerably.
4. Nose, in this occurrence, the air exiting the nostrils has a pungent odor that differs from the oral odor. Nasal odor may be due to sinus infections, foreign bodies & commonly Post Nasal Drip. To fix this you will need to flush your sinuses with salt water. It’s very difficult. Use Oraltech Labs program to properly clear all sinus cavities.
5. Tonsils small bits of calcified matter in tonsillar crypts called tonsilloliths that smell extremely foul when released and can cause bad breath. To fix use warm to hot salt water mix to break the stones down or use a water pic to dislodge them. This topic is covered in depth in the Oraltech Labs Program.
6. Stomach, very uncommon source of bad breath. The esophagus is a closed and collapsed tube, and continuous flow (as opposed to a simple burp) of gas or putrid substances from the stomach indicates a health problem—such as reflux serious enough to be bringing up stomach contents or a fistula between the stomach and the esophagus. To fix use Oraltech Labs program to cure bad breath caused by GERD & Acid Reflux.
Management:
1. Gently clean the tongue surface twice daily; that can be achieved using a tooth brush, tongue cleaner or tongue brush/scraper to wipe off the bacterial biofilm, debris, and mucus. Scraping or otherwise damaging the tongue should be avoided, and scraping of the V-shaped row of taste buds found at the extreme back of the tongue should also be avoided. Brushing a small amount of antibacterial mouth rinse or tongue gel onto the tongue surface will further inhibit bacterial action.
2. Eating a healthy breakfast with rough foods helps clean the very back of the tongue.
3. Chewing gum: Since dry-mouth can increase bacterial build-up and cause or worsen bad breath, chewing sugarless gum can help with the production of saliva, and thereby help to reduce bad breath. Chewing may help particularly when the mouth is dry, or when one cannot perform oral hygiene procedures after meals.
4. Gargling right before bedtime with an effective mouthwash.
5. Maintaining proper oral hygiene, including daily tongue cleaning, brushing, flossing, and periodic visits to dentists and hygienists. Flossing is particularly important in removing rotting food debris and bacterial plaque from between the teeth, especially at the gum line.
If none of the above works for you just use the Oraltech Program by visiting - http://www.oraltechlabs.ph
