You Will Need

  • Diet plan
  • A blow dryer (optional)
How To Remedy Jock Itch: Identify jock itch

Step 1: Identify jock itch

Identify jock itch: an itching sensation found in warm and damp places on the body. You’ll see skin irritation and ring-shaped rashes.

How To Remedy Jock Itch: Dry the area

Step 2: Dry the area

Dry the areas where you’re experiencing jock itch. Sweating is usually the main cause.

Use a blow dryer on the cool setting to dry the area. A towel doesn’t always dry it completely and excessive wiping can cause more irritation.

How To Remedy Jock Itch: Apply antifungal product

Step 3: Apply antifungal product

Apply an antifungal skin cream, spray, or powder — available at drug stores — to the infected area.

How To Remedy Jock Itch: Use a home remedy

Step 4: Use a home remedy

Use a home remedy — such as antidandruff shampoo, tea tree oil, or a garlic and honey mixture — as a complement to your over-the-counter antifungal product.

How To Remedy Jock Itch: Pay attention to your diet

Step 5: Pay attention to your diet

Pay attention to what you eat. Greasy foods and refined carbohydrates increase the chances of a jock itch breakout. Eating fruits, vegetables, and garlic helps keep skin healthy.

Did you know? Jock itch is also known as ringworm because of the shape of the rash, not because it’s caused by a worm.
