Hi Lybrate user, Jock itch or tinea cruris is a fungal infection of the groin area. It requires takin a course of antifungal tablets and antifungal creams. Please do not self medicate as some creams such as candid B cream can increase the infection. You can send a picture through a private consult or show to a dermatologist. If incomplete or improper treatment is taken, it will keep recurring. Hope this helps.

Hello 1. Make sure that you have a tablespoon of apple cider vinegar and mix it in with a cup of warm water. 2. Place the solution that you have created on the affected area and wash it thoroughly. Do not wipe the area and let it dry on its own. 3. Do this about 2 ? 3 times a day every day. It will help get rid of the jock itch in no time.
