Common Questions and Answers about Fluconazole and jock itch

I am imagining that his ongoing jock itch somehow spread through intercourse and gave me jock itch and introduced it into my vagina and beyond. Husband doesn't want to go see a doctor and insists his daily sprays "work." I'm symptom free and not wanting a reinfection. Are you sure it can't be spread person to person via intercourse?
I am tried of taking itraconazole and applying oitment, i even wear loose cotton undergarments and change it everyday. I keep the area clean and dry. But the itch has spread on both sides of groin and butts. Round shaped with elivated edges and red in color. I started taking itraconazole again from today(almost fourth time). Please suggest something.
I have been treated with Nystatin, Ketoconazole, Clotrimazole, Clotimazole and Betamethasone Dipropionate, fluconazole and itraconazole, one at a time over many months.
The red inflamed area has still not gone but is not painful anymore..
I have seen an internest, a dermatologist and an infectious disease specialist.
Any suggestions?
He prescribed me fluconazole 150mg for three days and a ketoconazole cream to use for two weeks. The jock itch has gone away but the balanitis has majorly improved but I still get red rashes on it (no bumbs) throughout the day and it seems to worsen when I do not use the cream. I am uncircumcised and was STD tested but I do not think they checked for herpes. The girl I was with swears up and down she is clean. It does not itch, hurt to pee, or any pain at all.
However, steroids should not be used in the groin alone without consulting your doctor since steroids alone can make the rash of jock itch much worse. If the rash is very red and itchy, especially if it has blisters at the edge, a topical steroid such as hydrocortisone can also be applied aside from the clotrimazole cream. If this persists, it would be best to see your doctor for proper management. Take care and keep us posted.
Also treat your feet for athletes foot as well. Most of the time that is how you get jock itch. You shower and put on underwear, your feet touch them and you put fungus near your groin witch is usually hot and moist. To stop this put your socks on first before your underwear, after you dry off.
The joint pain and back pain could be anything from medication your on (ie adderal in high doses can cause groin pain) to internal issues you need to see a Dr about.
heya everybody ive been having some issues, the doctors think i have jock itch and at the start so did i, it started as jock itch to the left of my testicles and i was given canesten hc cream and it worked for that area but now ive gotten worse much worse my testicles and entirely red not itchy and burning just red how ever my inner thighs are very very itchy and burning feeling but looks clear and is mainly triggered by sweat and moisture and ive been to the doctors 4 times and nothing they giv
I've been to my doctor to see if they can help me and the gave me fluconazole 150mg. But I notice that I have these patches on my penis one under my foreskin and the other 3 under my my shaft. I've been tested only Positive for oral herpes, everything else was negative. The patches are shiny and itchy I don't know if I should go to a different doctor or a specialist.
m using Lotrimin Anti-fungal cream, which seems to help alleviate symptoms, and would hypothetically treat jock itch if I have it. What makes me 99% sure its yeast is that when I do use topical creams like Ketaconzole, the symptoms disappear entirely within a few days, and only return when treatment stops.
In terms of diet, from what I've read avoiding sugars and excessively 'flour' based foods is best.
I work out 4 times a week so i sweat a lot. But 4 months ago, it started itching down there especially around my perianal area! When i got concerned i check my perianal area and saw that the skin are lighter than normal. I've used miconazole thinking it might be a jock itch but nothing happened. Then i read something about tropical hydrocortisone and still nothing happened so then i decided to see a gynecologist.

so after the third week of taking medicine i went to another doctor who told me to continue to take remaining tablets but gave another cream/gel called fluconazole gel 0.5% Zocon and told it was to cure it and told to buy another soap and powder but the soap and powder is to prevent it for later.it is almost again three weeks now and the red colour in scrotum is still not gone.please help me.
It sounds like jock itch, which is an itchy condition that may cause a rash or just red irritation. I would suggest Lotrimin jock itch cream be applied as directed on the tube for the full recommended course. It is very important you are completely dry after bathing before you apply the cream.
You can also get a tea tree oil soap to shower with. Towels and underwear need to be washed in hot water with Tide and bleach (measure these out!).
The symptoms are suggestive of Jock itch. Jock itch shows up in post-adolescent men and hormonal changes during puberty,lifestyle and heredity each play a role.Predisposing fungal disease like tines cruris may also aggravate it.
Keep your groin area dry and keep a separate towel for yourself. Most forms of jock itch respond to over-the-counter products, which contain any of several basic ingredients: miconazole, tolnaftate, terbinafine, and clotrimazole.
t think much about them and kept applying clotrimazole and miconazole creams and itch relieving powders on my lesions.
Then my ringworms grew outta control so I went to a doctor to get checked out. The doctor prescribed me antibiotics, an anti bacterial cream and sedatives to help me sleep. I started taking everything except the sedative.
I realize about a day later I reoccurred Jock itch. I am not sure if I occured Jock Itch prior to sexual intercourse. Can you get HIV if you have sexual intercourse with someone who might have HIV through Jock itch. I went to the doctor a week later and all STD test came back negative as well as HIV.
ve been really itchy for the past two months inbetween where my Vagina ends and my butthole begins and i thought it might be jock itch because my boyfriend had it and i read you can catch that from them from having sex. So i was using Lotrimin and it helped a little bit for itch but not for long, i usually wear thongs but for a while i couldnt even wear one because it would make the itch worse.
Hi,
In all your description, you have not mentioned a word about 'Itch', a characteristic symptom of Jock itch and you seem to have more of pain and irritated skin. Jock itch gives an intense pleasurable itch with small pimples/rashes, quickly spreading to near by areas and not localised.Your case more looks like a local skin inflammation / infection , so that you may most likely need an antibacterial, anti inflammatory cream.
A month ago I self diagnosed and treated a yeast infection based on my previous yeast infection (diagnosed by a doctor a few years ago). I treated with Monistat (miconazole)cream, which mostly cleared up my symptoms. I still felt somewhat irritated down there so I went to the doctor. She took a swab sample that came back negative for yeast/bacteria/gonorrhea/chlamydia.I felt fine for 2 weeks, then felt intense burning during intercourse . A few days after that, the itch was back.
So ive used both Lotrimins and Lamisils jock itch creams since then and the red spots have faded and my scrotum no longer itches however my scrotum is still a fiery red color and has lost its elasticity. My scrotum also has two darkened dry spots on it now and im worried about what to do next. I no longer have health insurance and am unable to go see a doctor. So my question is what can i do to reduce the redness and get the elasticity back in my scrotum. or better yet what exactly do i have?
