Any doctors here? Jock itch medications?

[05CarbonDRZ]

Long ago i tried everything. Went to the dermatologist finally. He said it was these little tiny bugs. I used Quell and burned all the sheets, boiled all my clothes, and cancelled my membership at a particular gentleman's club.

They are called Pubic Lice.....Was this Gentleman's Club north or south of the Border..?

I don't use public restrooms when I can. Bushes and the forests are better.

Just remembered. 50 years ago back in high school the coaches used to give us something called tough foot that worked pretty well on fungal infections. Stuff burned a little but did the job.

Go commando!

Skip the underwear completely. It holds sweat which makes matters worse.
A friend of mine that served in VN in the early 70s suggested that to me.
Doesn't cure it but helps.

Note to the OP

Just to let you know that some of the suggestions people are posting here aren't entirely serious.

Well I'm sure that any number of remedies listed here would do the trick but, and all humor aside for the moment, what every you use you will be worlds more comfortable if you are now wearing jockey style briefs to switch at least for the duration of your problem to boxer shorts. Go ahead and ask me how I know........

Boxer shorts and, while your at it, buy several tubes of cream. Then use that cream every morning and every night for a looonnnnggg time - long after you think it's gone...that stuff lives in your skin even after you think its gone.

Are the ice picks nickel or blue?

You need some of the blue ointment.

Regarding the "any doctors here" a lot of us wear many hats and are only to happy to help a fellow human being in need. Could also try a wax job. May not work as intended but would give you something else to think about when the wax has to come off. Frank

i googled "jock itch cure" and some sites recommend apple cider vinegar.

I was using the Gold Bond medicated powder with no luck. Then like above I googled the same and that was what I found. I tried the apple cider vinagar(one application) and then used Lotrimine AF cream twice a day. It was cleared up in about week. One thing about the vinagar...when you apply it, you may want a "bullit" to bite on. It BURNED for about 15 minutes after I rinsed it off.

Hey OP, I haven't read this entire thread from start to finish but I do have a recommendation to try (and no, I'm not a physician). This may sound silly but rub a little "Preparation H" onto the affected area after you shower. Make sure to wash it all off during your next shower and reapply it. That stuff will make "any itch" for "whatever the reason" go away.

It might have been a club, but there were no gentlemen...

I think we have now officially covered every subject known to man.

I missed the thread on toe nail fungus?

 

[ladder13]

Maybe SHE could help.

My doctor once suggested using over the counter anti-fungal [Micatin or similar] mixed 50/50 with an anti-bactrial [Polysporin}

That way your treating both fungal and bactrical infections at the same time.

Been very effective for me.

If that and proper hygiene and frequent changes of undergarments doesn't provide relief soon, see a doctor!

Can you believe 77 posts on this topic to date! Also almost as many suggested cures also. I remember the lighter fluid / ice pick cure from my USAF days.

Consistent with being in a Firearms forum, I suggest foregoing the various noted medicinal powders and trying Pyrodex.

My ice picks. Hand made short spike hickory handle and sheath. Standard Ekco commercial pick with custom red oak sheath. I'm wondering why jock itch gets more replies than diabetes?
