I got jock itch about seven months ago when I was still at Ft. Benning, Georgia, as an infantryman. Seven months later, in Spain, I still have it. I just bought a fungicide after previous products failed to get rid of it - does anybody have any products they've tried and it helped?

Yeah, it's called 'Stop Visiting The Local Whore House'

However, it's preventative rather than a cure.

What were you using before and why did you wait seven months to go for the obvious anti-fungal

Oh good, while we are talking about medical problems:

I have this severe burning sensation in my chest radiating down my left arm and I find it hard to breathe. What do you think I should take? panadol and sleep it off?

Okay, now I have my thinly veiled sarcasm out of my system, I can tell you to go to a doctor. I don't think there are any doctors that regular the NS forums. Even if there were, I'm fairly sure they'd need more information to diagnose it. You have already tried an over-the-counter fungicide, so my gut would suggest you need a prescription med. No one on NS can write you a prescription. especially without seeing you in person.

This was supposed to be a serious thread. -_-

What you don't find that a serious piece of advice?

What were you using before and why did you wait seven months to go for the obvious anti-fungal

At first I didn't even know what jock itch really was and I thought it was just a rash from my thighs rubbing together. I was using a cream sold here in Spain that's supposed to help against rashes, but it was helping to stop the itch so I thought it was working [skin color was changing too a lighter red, as well], until about two days ago it started to augment the itch and the jock itch started to burn. So, I decided to research on jock itch and decided to buy an anti-fungal cream today. It really burns too, but it's more temporary and didn't result in such an itch that I couldn't even sleep.

This would be logical, especially in a country where I should technically have free healthcare. But, I don't and I don't have the money to pay for healthcare, so I have to wait until the Ministry of Justice issues me an ID card before I can really even hope for healthcare. The good thing is that in Spain pharmacies tend to sell you prescription drugs over-the-counter.

So, I decided to research on jock itch and decided to buy an anti-fungal cream today.

You only bought it today. Give it a chance to work

What you don't find that a serious piece of advice?

I have never been to a whore house, and I haven't gotten - in general - since Ft. Benning, so STDs are automatically ruled out.

Okay, now I have my thinly veiled sarcasm out of my system, I can tell you to go to a doctor. I don't think there are any doctors that regular the NS forums. How can someone that's been around since 2003 and has over 4000 posts not know that Fass is a doctor?

I have never been to a whore house, and I haven't gotten - in general - since Ft. Benning, so STDs are automatically ruled out.

Yet you say you havn't 'had any' since Ft Benning, and that you first noticed the problem whilst at Ft Benning.

How then does that rule STD's out?

I ignore any posts that don't include the phrase "Built like a brick shithouse"...

My apologies Fass and anyone else who took offense. Allow me to rephrase:

There is one doctor that regulars the NS forums. I'm fairly sure they'd need more information to diagnose it. You have already tried an over-the-counter fungicide, so my gut would suggest you need a prescription med. Only one person on NS can write you a prescription. I highly doubt he would if he wishes to remain a doctor without seeing you in person.

How then does that rule STD's out?

At Ft. Benning, during the time I got it, I was with about fifty other guys and I'm not gay [although, I do sleep walk :p ]. I got it during a road march, that's for sure - one of those week-long field manuevers, where you don't really have a chance to shower.


There is one doctor that regulars the NS forums. I'm fairly sure they'd need more information to diagnose it.

I'm not looking for a diagnoses, I am looking for people who have experienced the same problem and know of medicines that have helped them - as it says in the opening post.

it sounds like you let it set too long, you might need to get prescription strength anti fungal medicine, off to sick call with you.
Oh yeah word of Advice do not put GOLD BOND down there. when I was in AIT a solider did that and he wouldn't shut up all night about his nuts were burning.

I don't think there are any doctors that regular the NS forums. Even if there were, I'm fairly sure they'd need more information to diagnose it.
And even if they can, I'm think it is illegal and/or very dangerous for a doctor to give advice without ever seeing the patient.

How can someone that's been around since 2003 and has over 4000 posts not know that Fass is a doctor?
Ah, okay. I thought Fass was still a medical student.

As for the OP, it seems that the Trichophyton loves you. What stuff had you tried?

And... get a doctor.

Oh yeah word of Advice do not put GOLD BOND down there. when I was in AIT a solider did that and he wouldn't shut up all night about his nuts were burning.

Yes, I have my own experiences with this. >_> You're supposed to put a little coat, not fuggin' pack it up in there.

Most ringworm infections of the skin, such as jock itch, can be treated at home with antifungal creams and powders you can buy without a prescription. But have your doctor look at any infection that does not go away, is severe, or comes back. To treat jock itch, follow these steps:

* Wash the rash with soap and water. Gently remove any pieces of dried skin, and spread an antifungal cream over the rash. Apply the cream beyond the edge of the rash.
* Use an antifungal cream or powder that contains terbinafine, miconazole, or clotrimazole. You can buy these products without a prescription. Brand names include Lamisil, Lotrimin, Micatin, and Monistat. Follow the directions on the package, and don't stop using the medicine just because your symptoms go away. Use the medicine exactly as the label says. If symptoms do not improve after 2 weeks, call your doctor.
* Rarely, ringworm of the skin causes large areas of blisters. If your ringworm forms blisters, you can use compresses (such as Burow's compress, which you can buy without a prescription) to soothe and dry out the blisters. After the skin is dried out, use antifungal creams that you can buy without a prescription.
* If you have jock itch and athlete's foot, you should treat both to prevent re-infecting your groin when you put on your underwear.

If none of these works, I recommend having some cyclists, soccer players, martial artists and anyone else you can find with above average leg strength to try kicking it off of you. :)

Just stay away from Scotsmen.

whats that?

A fungus similar to athlete's foot.

Yeah...you probably got it from all the sweating/moisture. Good times. Go get some BOOM! Tough-Acting Tinactin.

Go to Columbus, Georgia. If there are whorehouses, the women there are so fugly that he probably wouldn't hit it with someone else's dick.

Gold Bond + Nutsack = Better than caffeine.

Aren't you supposed to keep the area dry? And you've been using a cream?

Are you sure it's jock itch? If an anti-fungal isn't helping, it's probably something else, could be a yeast infection (yes, boys can get those). You should see a doctor, they will know what's up and give you pretty meds to make it go away.

Although it might be too early to tell, I think this new anti-fungal spray is working.

Tinactin's good but I prefer Lamisil it works faster. Look for the most active ingredient percentage and follow the directions. The creams are better than sprays or powder. Your nuts will thank you.

That's stupid. Have sex with virgins and bathe in goats blood.

Don't mix those two up. Chances are that depending on where you live, one or the other of them is most likely a felony.

Are you sure it's even jock itch? I'm no dermatologist, but there're probably a dozen other fungal (or bacterial, for that matter) infections whose symptoms are similar.

If you really have been diagnosed with jock itch by a dermatologist (you said you aren't looking for a diagnosis), then you should have no problem getting a prescription for some stronger medication.

Currently, the issue with getting it checked out is that in a nation of free healthcare, I don't have healthcare. The Spanish bureaucracy, in conjunction with the Ministry of Justice's worker's strike, have pushed back my ability to get an ID card about five months, and now I have to wait for my birth certificate to arrive by mail at least another week or two. Then I can think about my ID card, and by the time I get my ID card I will be in the Spanish Army, where it will be irrelevant. I want to try to get rid of this before I enter the Army, or I'm going have one hell of a time.

Lol, you have rotten crotch.

Just use the anti-fungal cream. Follow the directions completely and consistently. It doesn't work in one day, you need to keep doing it.

so without the card, you cannot see a doctor?

which is more important? the money spent on a doctor or the chance that as you wait who knows what is going on under the skin of your crotch.

Take a trip down to Tangier's and go to a Moroccan doctor. They are cheap and for this they can help you. Also you can literally buy just about any prescription drug in Morocco. As long as you know how to say the name they will get it for you.

That's stupid. Have sex with virgins and bathe in goats blood.

Are you kidding? Not only is this not illegal in Morocco this is encouraged. However I have not tried this. Do so at your own risk.

I wrestle and even if you shower twice a day you'll still get ringworm or something someway or another. Lotrimin has always cleared it up in a few days

Dude, That sucks Mac. Hope that goes away, that can suck. Also, If its endorsed by John Madden, stay away.

That's stupid. Have sex with virgins and bathe in goats blood.

No no you have it the wrong way around, that only works for toothaches, you must have sex with goats and then immediately bathe in the blood of virgins but the blood must be drained under the light of the full moon.

Yes, I have my own experiences with this. >_> You're supposed to put a little coat, not fuggin' pack it up in there.

And for God's sake don't get it wet!

try a pesticide instead, permethrin is the one probably.

so without the card, you cannot see a doctor?

Even when I get my ID card, it will take quite the time to actually get healhcare [I have to prove that I am economically independent and can't afford health insurance, or I have to get a job - I will obviously get the latter, but by that time I really hope that this is gone since that job will be being a tanker].

Pardon my ignorance on Morocco, but are the doctors trustworthy? For some reason, this sounds similar to going down to Mexico to see a doctor. :/

How can someone that's been around since 2003 and has over 4000 posts not know that Fass is a doctor?

IIRC Fass has only been a doctor for a couple of months though.

So jock itch is like athletes foot but in the crotch? Looks like you need to use anti fungus stuff correctly for a couple of weeks at least and up to 4-8 weeks. Yuk dude. Get some powder next time.. works wonders on the feet.

Morocco is much better than Mexico. Although the one time in Mexico that I had to go the emergency room they took good care of me. The doctors are trustworthy as any other nation. You always have good ones and bad ones. My only suggestion is to find one that has a up to date clinic. In Morocco that is a sign of a decent doctor if you don't have a personal referral.

Lol, I second this. I heard the same thing. My grand dad always had this advice "be careful what you put on your balls".

I am actually planning to take one of those €24 flights to Marrakesh, and so might take you up on your advice.

Either ask your hotel staff or do some walking around the Medina and talk with some shop owners about a decent doc. Not to many people speak Spanish down south where your going. So I would suggest either English or French if you know it.

I'm not looking for a diagnoses, I am looking for people who have experienced the same problem and know of medicines that have helped them - as it says in the opening post.
Ahh, impatient are we?

A doctor will need to diagnose it so they know what type of infection it is so they can prescribe you the right antibiotics or whatever you need.

If you are not willing to dish out for a doctor (I assume you can pay for a doctor if you don't have a card) then keep using the fungal cream. Make sure you dry yourself thoroughly down there and don't use the same towel from down there on other parts of you body (can spread it). If that doesn't sort it out you are going to need more hardcore antibiotics (likely because it has been around for 7 months).

You could try a bucket of bleach and a wire brush...the scars should heal eventually.

Well, I knew it was jock itch and I know that jock itch doesn't tend to be serious enough to justify paying a lot of quid to go see a doctor (in Spain, at that), since it's fairly common within the ranks of soldiers that have to road march a lot (such as infantry). The problem is that it was the first time that I had gotten it and I didn't know what anti-fungal creams were the best to use, and since I know that it's fairly common I thought that there would be people who had experienced it and had used something that worked to get rid of it. Ultimately, if nobody knew how to get rid of it, yes I would go to a doctor. The issue isn't really the money either, since my parents in the United States would be more than willing to shuffle me some € to go to a clinic, but I didn't really believe it necessary.

It turns out I was right. I've been trying a mixture of both spray and cream; the former is Miconazol and the latter is Clotrimazol, and the jock itch is dissapearing.

I still don't understand how this topic of 'uncomfortable', and more over I don't understand that if it's so uncomfortable then why people post on it? This is much less uncomfortable, in my opinion, than the various threads on NationStates General on 'how freaky you can get', or 'what's the best sex you've ever had', or 'do you wear a G-string'. As the topic title says this was supposed to be a serious thread; I never had intentions of discomforting people, and the thread title is clear. If it wasn't something you wanted to read about, when you didn't have to - there was no intended shock value in the thread title to attract people to read it, especially since it said 'serious'. I didn't post pictures of my inner thighs, and I didn't give an overexaggerated and overillustrated description of the condition. So, in my opinion, it is a question of maturity. But, perhaps some people are more sensitive to some things than others, and less sensitive to other things - and this I can understand.

It's not that I'm sensitive, it's just that it would've been smarter to post it on a medical forum or see a doctor. Now, where I'm from, you can see a doctor for free if you need to, so I suppose I'm just coming from a different perspective. Anyway, it doesn't matter. I'm glad you're not itchy any more.

It's not making me ncomfortable. Just a person who has a problem they'd like advice for. I don't think you're attention whoring or anyting. I know I would seriously want to ask around to see what worked best for others if I had jock itch, myself. Definitely something you'd want to try to take care of in the msot efficient, effecitve manner possible. Anmd while maybe w'ere not all exactly frienda at NSG, it is definitely a community, and while it has its arguments, certainly it's a fairly nice, caring community, for the internet I mean. I don't think any of us would want a fellow NSG poster to suffer from rotten crotch longer than he had to, would we? That just wouldn't be nice.

Anyway, sorry for the typos and any incomprehensibility, I'm reallty fuckkiong drunk.

You should post more often when you're drunk; you're pretty fuggin' hilarious.

Write it in permanent marker on every piece of skin on your body. Then go to a tattooist and get them to make it permanent.

I got jock itch about seven months ago when I was still at Ft. Benning, Georgia, as an infantryman. Seven months later, in Spain, I still have it.
That's what you get for wearing another man's undies. You deserve no sympathy!

Remember kids - no matter how enticing they might look, never wear another man's gruds!
