Common Questions and Answers about Accutane and jock itch

accutane

Avatar m tn 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!).
Avatar f tn 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.
Avatar n tn 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.
Avatar m tn 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.
Avatar n tn She recently (2 weeks ago) started taking a low dose of accutane every other day and noticed her face and scalp began to itch and flake. She is now concerned about her hair thinning and even being lost, claiming that it has at least begun to thin. My question: Is there a strong correlation between hair thinning/loss with accutane patients? Should she be concerned about permanent hair loss? If her hair is thinning, is this permanent as well or temporary?
Avatar n tn I also had jock itch on my balls and she licked it. I been running myslef wild with anxiety about her licking my balls. Should I be worried it happened 2 weeks ago and now i have a headache and a sore thoart.
Avatar m tn 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?
Avatar m tn I seem to get jock itch and can not get it to go away. I am not overweight and try to keep the area dry. I have used various creams and powders. Lamisil knocks it down but it never completly goes away. If I stop the daily Lamisil it flars right back. What are your thoughts on what else I can do.
Avatar m tn Do I have jock itch? 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 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 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 n tn I've been having on and off itch problem in my scrutum. I tried most jock itch over the counter medication but they only provide temporary relief. I noticed that when I sweat in my groin area, the itch worsens. The itch is so discomforting. I tried scabies treatment also, but no effect. Natural Tea Tree oil don't seem to cure it. Please help.

Avatar n tn is there some antibiotics i can get to clear up the jock itch once and for all? im getting very worried and it starting to affect my sleep.
Avatar m tn s syndrome on my Pee Pee, or more accurately on the skin around my upper thigh, crotch, scrotum and rectum. Foul smelling, burning, itching jock-itch of some kind that seems impervious to any ointment my doctor has prescribed. I've used women's vag cream for yeast infection, athletes-foot creams, anti-fungal creams, anti-fungal powders, shaving the hair off my genitals, every deodorant soap known to mankind and even Dry Idea underarm deodorant to cover up the smell.
Avatar n tn All of a sudden I had a recurrence of Jock itch. I am no sure if it was there prior to intercourse. I went to the doctor a week later and all STD test came back clear as well as HIV.
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 Hi, I was just recently diagnosed with jock itch by a PA that I saw at a dermatology office. I noticed the tip of my penis is also somewhat red, can it spread to the tip? I did not mention this to the PA because I did not notice until I got home. Could it be an std? I have sex with one girl(my girlfriend) that I know does not have any diseases. It is red, is NOT itchy, and does not seem irritated until I think about it. What could this be?
Avatar m tn Hi I have a jock itch in which I am scratching evry night but it doesn't posses any wound or any..Recently a hooker gave me a blowjob with a condom. I am thinking that her saliva with blood would drip to my scrotum ( which I scratched ) will put me on any risk..Do i need HIV testing on this manner?? Thnx.
Avatar n tn This is uncommon, and most people notice the discomfort of jock itch long before it reaches an advanced stage. If you are trying to get rid of jock itch and have never had it before, it is important to have it diagnosed by a medical professional. There are other skin conditions that can be similar. Intertrigo can also cause rash in the groin folds, and erythrasma is a bacterial infection that may mimic tinea cruris.
Avatar n tn she also used some sort of lotion or anti spermicidal stuff. 7 days later i got jock itch, i felt a burning sensation in penis and scrotum ...i didnt know it till about 5 weeks after the incident that it was jock itch giving me the pain. 33 days after possible exposure i got std test for everything but hiv and they all came back negative. i have no idea whether the women has HIV. im worried about her vaginal secretion....
