I am suffering from jock itch for about two years. I have tried many antifungal creams. It only gives a temporary relief for the itch. After one week the red patches appears again between the thighs. It never goes completely. And if it goes the patches reappear in one week.
Symptoms:
itching or a burning sensation in the groin area, affected area appear red and flaking, rash advances to lower thigh, scrotum not affected
Please help.. Any recommendations will be appretiated

As I mentioned in my previous post, you have tried over the counter and prescription treatments and you indicated none have worked. You need to return to your doctor and consult with him/her. You may have some underlying cause that can not be treated in the normal way.

I have trouble with this as well. I've been to the dermatoligist and prescription creams helped a bit but not that well. After searching online one site recommended rubbing alcohol 70%. Please for your wellbeing make sure it is 70%. The stuff in the 90% range will have you running until you reach the next county.
Even the 70% when I first used it crossed my eyes and made me do a bit of a dance. But as the itch is going away the burn from the alcohol has become just a tingle.I put alcohol on a washcloth twice a day and apply to the affected areas. Then I put on either anti fungal cream or Gold Bond powder. The alcohol removes all oil from the skin so if you don't add something you'll stick together until the skin oil replenishes.It's two weeks since I started this and the itch is almost entirely gone.
