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 n tn I have had the same problem for quite some time. I'll use lotrimun powder spray and baby powder every morning and evening after washing, it does the trick. But during the summer when sweating is inevitable, the jock itch will return. I haven't found a permanate cure for my case, but you'll find the "jock itch" powder spray + baby powder can keep it dry for quite come time. Try it.

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 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 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 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 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. tend to develop on skin kept in damp, dark, and warm environments.
Avatar m tn Though it is called jock itch, it may not itch always. Usually a reddish rash or area of darkened or tanned skin appears on penis/scrotum/groin fold/adjacent thighs. This is often accompanied by a burning or tingling sensation. Also the diagnosis of jock itch appears to be correct since the sensation responded to application of an antifungal and the rash has dried up and is becoming scaly. The treatment may take about 4-5 weeks to produce complete results.
Avatar n tn can jock itch move to your penis? i have had it for months now and can only keep it under control w powder, not get rid of it. when i have sex w/my girlfriend, afterwards my penis gets red, raw and gets little cracking in the skin right under the head of my penis, some small amount of itching. has the jock itch moved to my penis or is this something else? i might add there are no sores or anything like that. it seems to heal and only get raw after sex.
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 Its lost elasticity completely and im worried. My Are these new symptoms after jock itch has cleared? or are these also part of jock itch? so what should i do now?
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 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 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 Ive been to my family doctor 3 times, a Urologist once, and the county health department once. All they ever seem to do is tell me the same thing, that I have jock itch and then they prescribe me some cream and send me on my way. Yet my problem never goes away, and its been 5 years and this is still something that concerns me on a daily basis. Its really destroying my life to be honest.
Avatar n tn The rash that showed up in his groin looked more like jock itch rash. He has been getting this itch for about 4-5 years on and off but never had any rash, not even a single red bump before. This is the first time he got that severe rash along with burning sensation. He never had burning sensation before just the itch. Please give us your advice. Thank you Doc.
Avatar m tn Hello, It can be due to jock itch(fungal infection),intertrigo or acanthosis nigricans. 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. Wash your groin daily and then dry thoroughly by pat drying,not rubbing. A hairdryer is useful if you have hairy groins.The damp groin is an ideal site for fungi to multiply.
Avatar n tn I have what I assume is a fungal infection on my inner thighs. It's a reddish-brown with clearly defined borders. I've had it before but kind of forgot about it, and recently noticed it again. The skin is slighty more scaly there than surrounding it. I just don't know that it's jock itch because there is no itching, burning or discomfort. The only symptom is the discoloration itself.
Avatar m tn 8 days later my body felt warm and with chills. This lasted for about one day. 2 days after that (the 10th day) my penis began to itch and burn and my foreskin was dry and slightly swollen. I figured this was jock itch from the unprotected sex and began to use antifungal cream. I also had white spots on my tonsils, maybe from the cunnilingus and kissing. But then on 3/20, I started to have bladder and perineum pain while lying down in bed.
