Answers:
Hi Heshm. Jock itch, like other tinea infections, is caused by several types of mold-like fungi called dermatophytes (pronounced: dur-mah-tuh-fites). All of us have microscopic fungi and bacteria living on our bodies, and dermatophytes are among them. Dermatophytes live on the dead tissues of your skin, hair, and nails and thrive in warm, moist areas like the insides of the thighs. So, when your groin area gets sweaty and isn't dried properly, it provides a perfect environment for the fungi to multiply and thrive.
Good hygiene is the most important thing that helps prevent jock itch. Keep the area as dry as possible by always using a clean towel after showering or swimming (also remember to avoid sharing towels) also, especially after strenuous and sweaty activity.
Heshm, if you do get jock itch, remember that it almost always goes away on its own, it is important have
only Good Hygiene.
But, advice From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia: sounds so:
Jock itch is best treated with antifungal drugs applied topically. Traditionally creams containing clotrimazole or miconazole have been used, although newer agents such as butenafine are also used. These anti-fungal agents work by stopping the fungi from producing a substance called ergosterol, which is an essential component of fungal cell membranes. If ergosterol synthesis is completely or partially inhibited, the cell is no longer able to construct an intact cell membrane. This leads to death of the fungus.
If the skin inflammation causes discomfort and itching, glucocorticoid steroids may be combined with the anti-fungal drug to help prevent further irritation due to the patient scratching the area. Apart from the quicker relief of symptoms, this also helps minimise the risk of secondary bacterial infection caused by the scratching. However steroids, if used alone, for fungal infections may exacerbate the condition.
So Heshm, my advice - get a thorough examination by your doctor.
