Jock itch around my groin area and private part

I have this jock itch around my groin for a few months already. I’ve been applying Econazine on and off which made it worse and didn’t completely stop the bacteria. I went to the doctor few days ago and the doctor gave me Travocort. But after applying for few days it got worse and I went to another doctor who gave me Nafine cream. May I know which cream could help me better in my situation? And the jock itch has spread and I see red rashes on my testicles and penis. What should I do now?

First and foremost, we truly understand your concerns regarding your symptoms and other health problems you might be facing.It should be noted that the remedy for this problem should be addressed consistently.

Some of the things you are encouraged to do to reduce the incidence are:

  • Lose weight so that the skin of the thighs does not slide
  • Avoid wearing tight pants

  • Avoid sharing towels or using wet towels
  • Avoid sharing underwear or sheets and so on
