Sorry its not advisable to provide medicine online... Apple Cider Vinegar. Apple contains anti-fungal and antiseptic properties which makes it a useful remedy to fight jock itch. Mix one spoon apple vinegar in water and apply it on the affected area. Leave it to dry.Apr

Nuforce and other over the counter creams are actually steroids which initially give a relief but on prolonged use lead to side effects. Please refrain from using such creams as it makes the infection worse and resistant. Keep area dry and wear loose clothes. Consult a qualified dermatologist for proper treatment.
