Jock Itch

[LisaG21]

Hey guys I have a question.

Unfortunately lol I have come down with jock itch! I assume it is from exercising and wearing my scrubs. My scrubs are a little big from losing weight and the crotch is by my knees sometimes and I think from sweating I have gotten this anyway my question lol What can I use to help clear this up fast? I was using some cream corticoid i think, that I bought at the store but i think it made it worse. I just tonight used medicated powder the gold bond stuff and it cooled it down and stung like a bitc* lol but my boyfriend said to try the spray. I am afraid to use the spray because of my private. I don't want a yeast infection or any other kind of infection in there lol I never had one and don't want one. Now that I have been rambling can someone just give me a good thing to use for a girl! Lol

i used to stick abd pads under my big-boobed patients when they had these fungal infections, after the prescribed rx, so the sweat could be absorbed.

I do the same thing. I have also put them underneath big bellies to prevent the skin from staying wet under there.

To the OP~ If I were you, I'd keep the area clean and dry for the next few days, perhaps using Gold Bond powder as others suggested. If it doesn't get better, or gets worse, I'd see my doctor. I have found that Nystatin powder works better than the creams for most of my pts. who have fungal infections.

definitely nystatin powder....works like a charm plus the added benefit of it being a powder. and as hereyes stated, if you have a big belly, look under the folds as fungal infections occur there too.

Alright,

So I need some cream -> I was going to go to the doctor but should I go to a gyn (I have never been to one) or should I go to my primary. Can I get nystatin over the counter (I know we use that at work soooo much but I never really saw it in the store) or should I request it from my doctor?

thank you? Tom for that marvellous insight!

A remedy from the tropics.

A simple and cheap way to fix a noxious crutch (from heat and friction) is to wash well in the normal way.

Liberally splash your private bits in a small bath or bowl of condy's crystals (potassium permanganate or permanganate of potash).

In a hospital wash bowl you only need (literally) a few grains till the water is stained a light pink. If the water is purple tip some out and dilute the rest or you will go brown!

By splashing your irritated bits the condy's solution dries it out and also acts as a deoderiser (good for manky toes too!).

A liberal application of zinc starch powder (nappy rash powder) WELL rubbed in stops your skin absorbing moisture and going soft and painful.

Beware of a secondary fungul infection, but in most cases this is all the treatment you need.

If it goes fungul treat for two weeks post healing or it will com back to haunt you!
