How Do You Treat Jock Itch With Home Remedies?
Jock itch is a fungal infection that affects moist areas of the body such as the groin, inner thigh or buttocks. Treat jock itch, also known as ringworm, at home with over-the-counter anti fungal medications or with natural fungus fighting solutions. Purchase over-the-counter anti fungal medication containing terbinafine, miconazole or clotrimazole at your local drug store. Look for medications specifically made to treat jock itch or athlete’s foot. Read all medication instructions. Note how long the jock itch medication must be used to be effective. Wash the affected area with soap and water. Dry the area with a clean towel by gently patting the area. Use a blow dryer set on cool to completely dry the affected area. Apply the anti fungal medication as described in the instructions. Continue to apply the medication according to instructions on the package even if the symptoms disappear. Bathe daily and change your clothing after strenuous activity. Wash towels and clothing in hot water
