Anyone else suffer from a Yeast Infection (Jock Itch)?

I have had this annoying malady and my Doctor has not been able to offer any valid treatment to get it under control.
It itches and is now getting extremely smelly! Anyone else suffer from this and if so, what do or did you do to deal? It is now driving me crazy as I have tried most OTC and prescriptions. Just looking for advice on how to get rid of it. Thanks in advance.

  1. that sounds so frustrating! Especially that your doctor hasn't been able to give you much to get it under control. Do you know the cause, is this related to a medication or something? - Liz (Team Member)

    1. Haven't gotten any answers regarding it's origin. Nothing helps at all.

    2. that's awful, I'm sorry to hear it. Maybe others who have had similar experiences will offer some support. Keep us posted, I'm hoping for the best for you. - Liz (Team Member)

    1. I actually went through two cycles of this med. The first time it offered a month's relief but it then came back with avengence! Didn't do anything the second time. Docs have no other options. I keep myself very clean...sometimes two showers a day. Keep the area dry and have been for years. I don't know what else to do....
