It should easily clear up after 2 to 4 weeks with an antifungal cream, powder, or lotion applied to the affected area 2 or 3 times a day. Antifungal creams and powders such as clotrimazole* or miconazole, available without prescription at the pharmacy, are effective against most dermatophytes. It's important to continue use after the infection has disappeared for as long as the instructions recommend. If the inflammation persists for much more than 2 or 3 weeks despite antifungal medication, see a doctor. The doctor may prescribe a different antifungal cream or possibly an antifungal medication taken by mouth to treat the infection. Follow these tips to help to relieve and prevent jock itch: Wear loose-fitting clothing and underwear. Change underwear often, especially after sweating. Shower as soon as possible after exercising. Wash exercise clothes after each use. Don't sit around in a wet bathing suit. Don't use another person's towel or clothes. After showering, put socks on first. If underpants are put on first, foot fungus can rub off into the underwear, and cause jock itch. Use corn starch or talcum powder in areas more likely to become infected to keep them free of moisture.
