Answer 2

First, Tiena cruris (jock itch) is caused by a fungal infection, and if left untreated, can become systemic and lead to a multitude of problems down the road.......Over the counter medications such as Cruex, Lamasil, and other SPRAY POWDERS work the best. Make sure that you keep the area clean and dry before applying the spray. I recommend this to my patients before I start them on an oral anti-fungal......Clean, Dry and use the Spray Powder (found in the drugstore in the Ointments (think Neosporin) aisle, or just ask where the item is.....It takes about a week to clear completely.......

See your doctor or podotist
Tinea infections are superficial fungal infections caused by three species of fungi collectively known as dermatophytes. Commonly these infections are named for the body part affected, including tinea corporis (general skin), tinea cruris (groin), and tinea pedis (feet). Accurate diagnosis is necessary for effective treatment. Diagnosis is usually based on history and clinical appearance plus direct microscopy of a potassium hydroxide preparation. Culture or histologic examination is rarely required for diagnosis. Treatment requires attention to exacerbating factors such as skin moisture and choosing an appropriate antifungal agent. Topical therapy is generally successful unless the infection covers an extensive area or is resistant to initial therapy. In these cases, systemic therapy may be required. Tinea corporis and cruris infections are usually treated for two weeks, while tinea pedis is treated for four weeks with an azole or for one to two weeks with allylamine medication. Treatment should continue for at least one week after clinical clearing of infection.
Most tinea corporis, cruris, and pedis infections can be treated with topical agents. Consideration should be given to systemic treatment when lesions covering a large body-surface area fail to clear with repeated treatment using different topical agents.3 In treating dermatophytosis, the physician must also address environmental factors that lead to or exacerbate tinea infection and select an appropriate topical therapy for the infection.

Answer 4

A thin layer of selenium shampoo (like Selson Blue) at night (because it smells strong) works to control it. The fungus itself is gone after a few applications, but it takes time for the pigment to return to normal. Athletes foot creams also work well (and smell less), but they are more expensive. A lot of times the pH balance is off in your skin for this condition to occur (especially on areas like the back and shoulders). Be careful using moisturizers in these areas, they may be contributing to the growth.
