Hey lybrate-user
candid cream is supposed to be applied twice daily
make sure you apply it properly all over the rash and even in the areas surrounding the rash.
Do wash your hands post application of cream.
Do make sure you apply this for atleast 2 months
a good idea would be to keep the area absolutely dry to stop the rash.

Hello lybrate-user I would recommend you to use atleast for 1 month to see minimum change in your jock itch rashes but along with those you might have to take oral anti-fungal tablets too.

The condition most often occurs when people wear tight-fitting clothing that traps in moisture.
Wash the affected skin two to three times a day.
Keep the affected area dry.
Avoid excess affected skin irritation by wearing 100% cotton underwear.
Avoid fabric softeners, bleaches, or harsh laundry detergents.
Wash your workout clothes, underwear, socks, and towels after each use.
Keep your affected area, inner thighs, and buttocks clean and dry, especially after you exercise and shower.
After showering or bathing, dry the irritated affected area by gently patting it with a towel. Be sure to dry your skin thoroughly.
 Mix two tablespoons of apple cider vinegar in two cups of warm water. Wash the infected area with this solution and allow it to dry on its own. 
Another option is to apply a mixture of equal parts of white vinegar and coconut oil on the affected skin.
Like hydrogen peroxide, rubbing alcohol can help kill off the fungus that's on the surface level of the skin. You can apply it directly to the affected area
Listerine: It has antiseptic, antifungal and antibacterial properties, which help treat skin problem
Here are some tips to help you manage the infection:
Avoid using oily skin products.
Reduce your exposure to the sun. Exposure to the sun may trigger or worsen an episode, and a tan makes the rash more visible. 
Do not wear tight clothing.
Wear breathable fabrics, such as cotton, to decrease sweating.
