Common Questions and Answers about Heat rash jock itch

heat

Avatar n tn i dont know if i have a heat rash or jock itch it seems to itch very little but no peeling on the skin and no redness but there is little red bumps above my pelvic area is this heat rash or jock itch?
Avatar n tn 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.

Avatar n tn Ok something else I don't understand is I don't experience itching with my jock itch. Just heat from the rash. Is this normal? Will rubbing alcohol eventually remove the rash?
Avatar f tn Hi there, 30 days ago I had unprotected sex and developed a red rash with a few red dots on just my left upper thigh where the crease close to my scrotum. Its dry and chafed a little but I've had it for a week. I also came home from Hawaii 2 days prior to the rash starting. Long flights and I wasn't able to shower for a day or day and a half. Im not sure of its an std or jock itch. I just started using lotrimin. What do you think it would be?
Avatar m tn i started running about a week ago. On my third run i started feeling rubbing in my groin area from my underwear. I have run several times since this adn now i have a rash on my scrotum. red dots that are burning an uncomfortable. I search jock itch but they say it doesn't usually affect the scrotum or penis. I'm very uncomfortable right now. any ideas?
Avatar n tn m 22 now) I looked at some pictures of jock itch in the groin which is where I have the rash and it is a perfect match from looks. I've been applying alcohol the kind you use for cuts and scrapes. I read on a google search this can make the rash go away but not sure it. For now, getting rid of the rash would be good enough for me. Something to note is that the rash did expand a very short bit down my thigh but for the past 5 months or so it hasn't expanded rather stay the same.
Avatar n tn Three weeks ago I contracted a painful (not itchy) rash in my upper inner thighs, where the leg folds into the groin, after a very sweaty day in the hot heat, and lack of shower until the night. I assumed it was jock itch, and accordingly began to treat it with lamisil. The medicine helped reduce the intensity of the rash, but it didn't fight it all the way off. Soon, the rash became itchy (and remains itchy), and spread to my groin and, though not as heavily, my penis.
Avatar n tn s a possibility it is only a heat rash, but in the off-chance it is not, it could be a fungal infection, or commonly jock itch. Try Lotrimin IB which can be found at Walgreens and CVS stores, and apply on and around the area in the morning and at night. If it is just heat rash, try Gold Bond Medicated powder, and wear clothes that breathe well.
Avatar m tn this sounds more like jock itch than herpes or a sweat rash. you need antifungals to properly get rid of jock itch or it just keeps coming back. if this was herpes, odds are it would've gotten worse with the topical steroids.
Avatar m tn Is this a result of a std or is this just a heat rash or a variation of jock itch? I am very active, so I am wondering if it is just a form of jock itch as well. The rash is raised red bumps, nothing is oozing, my scrotum is extremely red. It feels like the hair follicles are where the itch starts and then the whole area will start to itch for a few moments, sometimes longer.
Avatar m tn I have been working out regularly and having protected sex with my girlfriend. Recently, I have had a rash appear on my pubic area. After searching my symptoms (itch, rash, dry flaky skin, red) I assumed that it was jock itch. I purchased some Clotrimazole and have been using that three times daily. The medicine helps with the itch but the rash is still there and it doesn't seem to be making any progress. I have been using the cream for about a week.
Avatar f tn So jock itch can cause these pimple sized red bumps/blisters on my inner thighs?
Avatar m tn I am a 25 year old male with a rash in my groin region. It is in my inner thighs and has been there for almost 6 years. i am a runner and for the longest time thought of it as "jock itch". But in recent years it has become more and more painful and varying degrres of treatment have been used trying to clear it up.
Avatar n tn Ther eare creams prescribed by dermatologists for jock itch. Jock itch can be tamed but it does come back from tiem to time nothing you can do about that. Good luck and do not waste your time or money on over the counter remedies they do not work go to a dermatologist and get the right stuff and truly they will know in two seconds flat what they are looking at instead of trying to figure it out here. Good luck.
Avatar m tn Doctor said it was nothing and that it would go away by itself... The rash has been there for 3 months with no change. A friend of mine suggested jock itch treatment with over the counter drugs. Lotrimin ultra didnt do a thing...but surprisingly the powder spray of the same brand worked ok. I noticed that the active ingredient miconazole nitrate works really well with my case. I also noticed that vaginal yeast infections are being treated with the same ingredient...
Avatar m tn Hopefully it was just a mild case of jock itch. Like i said as soon as i starred using the jock itch spray it went away in a couple of days, so it lasted maybe 4 days...
Avatar n tn when i got it looked at the DR said it was jock itch or a heat rash. but as i look more and more in 2 it i get freaked out cause it sounds like herpes. how can i be sure i dont have herpes?
Avatar m tn t know how to treat it. I assumed it was jock itch or whatever it is called because I researched it. So my question is how do I treat this to make it go away forever and another question is that is it contagious cause my girlfriend wants to have sex with me both for the first time so can she like catch what u have or not please help I don't know what to do and I am too embarrassed to ask my mum thanks.
Avatar m tn The rash had a well-defined outline and a pink center. After doing some research, I figured I would try a jock itch cream. I used Lotrimin (clotrimazole) for about a weak - which seemed to work - but the tube ran out. The next day, the rash came back. Now, it's just red with no defined edges. It's not really itchy, and I probably wouldn't have even noticed it had it not been for the oral sex.
Avatar m tn Can jock itch just be an itch around your groin, testicles and lower base of your penis? Its just an itch I dont have any visible white marks etc.....
Avatar m tn Antifungal medications work fine, but not overnight. You have to keep using them consistently until the problem is gone. On the bottle of an athlete's foot powder I've used, it recommends applying the stuff everyday for 4 weeks. One would hope jock itch clears up faster, though. It's equally important to prevent it from occurring again. Fungal overgrowths that cause problems like jock itch, athlete's foot, yeast infections, diaper rash, etc.
Avatar m tn My Mum and Dad know about this and said its most likely to be a heat rash as you do a lot of sports. I also went to the GP and she also said its probably due to friction. However its always in the back of my mind what if its serious, and its causing my family to pieces to be honest and Mum and Dad are really fed up with me now by hassling them. I dont know what to do.
Avatar n tn You might need a more potent cream. If the rash is primarily on your inner thighs and has a border. Then it is probably jock itch. You need to dry off the area well, with a clean towel. Apply the cream twice a day for at least two weeks, even if it starts to get better. But you can stop thinking about it being an STD. Its not. Don't use a wet towel and always dry that area before your feet.
Avatar m tn It could be jock itch, but it could also just be caused by the sweating and heat, as well as irritating the skin by scratching. Best approach is to keep it clean and as dry as possible. Wear breathable cotton underwear and loose pants, and change your underwear often. Try to go without pants when you are at home, if you can, to allow the area to breathe and dry out. Use a sensitive skin cleanser instead of soap, which can dry and irritate the skin and make the itching worse.
Avatar f tn I have what seems like jock itch. I am a female. I have tried different ointments. I still itch. What else can I try?
Avatar m tn Hello, 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. You can get them prescribed.
