Thanks FNG, I can see how the lidocaine would help but have not found anything that works yet! I was hoping someone who has gone through this might have an answer.

You have no choice but to sit in the living room with your legs spread as wide as possible and air out your balls until it passes.
Please remember to close the curtains. Seriously, I had this problem on a trip to the equatorial part of the world last year. Try a good quality diaper rash creme. I think Desiden was the brand I used at the time. Just remember to wash it off before showing off for the girls. |

Dont laugh too hard....try using a good quality diaper rash ointment on it. Something like diaperene or the like. It really works wonders for the itching,chaffing,etc..

Flexall/Icy Hot.
Because when your fanning your hand around your balls like you would around your mouth when you eat a slice of pizza that's too hot, you don't concentrate on the itch: you just beg God that the icy (yet...somewhat hot) sensation dies down. Quoted: Gold Bond? Heh....Hehe... |

Seriously, sounds painful!
Jock Itch is a fungal infection that flourishes in the warm moist enviornment of your sweaty groin. Since the fungus only affects the top layer of the skin, topical ointments are usually effective. OTC antifungals are Tinactin, Lotrimin and Micatin. Apply twice a day for 2 weeks. Apply at least an inch beyond the rash. Stop once the rash has been gone for a week. Good luck! TT [wave] |

Lamisil will kill it.
Don't ask me how I know how, but trust me on this one, Lamisil will kill it. Eckerds, etc... About 8 bucks for a micro-gram sized tube. Use sparingly, it's all you need, twice a day. Tried Gold Bond Blue Label powder once. It was the first time I cried in a long time... >>>edited to add: take the former advice - use it for a week or so after the symptoms are gone just to make sure you kill it ALL.<<< |

"Tinea Cruris "Jock Itch"
What Is Tinea Cruris? Treatment Prevention Measures What Is Tinea Cruris? Tinea cruris, or "jock itch," is a superficial fungus infection of the groin and upper inner thighs that most commonly starts in hot, humid weather. It is caused by common fungus organisms that grow easily in warm, moist areas of the skin. A rash appears which is red to tan or brown in color, slightly scaly, and usually has a fairly sharp and distinct margin. There may be central clearing. It usually does not affect the scrotum and penis. Not every groin rash is due to fungal infection. Intertrigo (mechanical rubbing, and moisture), psoriasis, seborrheic dermatitis, candidal (yeast) infections, and several other skin diseases can mimic fungal infections of the groin. Treatment Antifungal creams may be required. Miconazole cream can be purchased over the counter. If that is not helpful, a clinician can recommend several prescription creams. The cream should be applied once or twice a day in a thin layer, spreading it at least a half inch beyond the margin of the rash. Treatment should be continued for one week after the rash goes away to prevent recurrence. If the rash is still present after one month, see a clinician. A change in creams or oral medications may be needed. Prevention Measures To prevent jock itch, keep the groin area dry. After showering, dry the groin carefully. Do not dry the feet first and then the groin, because fungus from the feet may be transferred to the groin on the towel. Use an absorbent powder if sweating is a problem. Wear absorbent cotton underwear. Avoid clothing (pants, underwear, and sportswear) that is tight or occlusive. Change out of wet swimming gear immediately. " Go see a Dr. and get a Rx for Lotrisone (Clotrimazole and Betamethasone). AFARR |

Let me tell you, you can F around with all of the OTC stuff and home remedies you want but if you really want it gone a Rx for lotrisone is the ticket. Perhaps my... friend's case... yhea, my friend's case... was particularly bad but it was the only thing that worked. Make sure your Dr goes ahead and puts a refill or two on your scrip so you'll have it if it ever recurrs.

Have you guys who recommended Gold Bond actually tried it ??
I mean I suppose it's OK if you just have a little mild discomfort. If you wait until you have scratched it raw and then hit it with that Industrial Grade (I forget what it's called) Gold Bond, I gurantee that you can run the three minute mile....backwards! Seriously, I did it and as soon as I sprinkled it on the only thought that went through my head was "My God what did I just do???" Felt like something off a Road Runner cartoon. Ed |

Dust liberally and often with Gold Bond medicated powder. Trust me on this one...I've been a pharmacist since '89 and this stuff works. Oh...don't pick at it or your privates might wind up in a jar of formalin on some pathologist's desk.
[edited to add] Almost forgot...ask your doc to give you a prescription for 7 Diflucan 100mg tablets, take 1 daily for 7 days. This will help to kill the fungus from the inside out. |

I think it's somewhat disturbing that the first person to make a genuinely informative and accurate response is female.
It says something about our relative maturity levels, doesn't it? Thank you, Titanium T. Here's some additional serious advice: You can keep the area a little dryer (and hence less fungal friendly) by wearing looser shorts or noe at all, and loose pants, and when you go to bed, wear nothing. Starkers. And do all you can to avoid scratching! If all else fails, there's always [size=6] [b] [red] TANNERITE! [/red] [/b] [/size=6] [img]http://www.tannerite.com/blowup_small.jpg[/img] CJ |

TT and AFARR give good advice. Trust a woman to know about yeast infections[:D]
anyhow I would add: Try the Tinactin powder. When creams don't work I go to powder as it keeps things drier and this is essential. You really have to keep up with it though and treat it for a week or so past apparent resolution like TT says. I don't rec Lotrisone--the steroid in it may help alleviate itching but also can lead to striae in body folds and creases. It also is very much liked by yeast. If no help see a doc..bend over and say ahhhh.[:D] |

Desitin Creamy. Works great for diaper rash, should give you instant relief as well. It may be a little greasy at first, but at least it won't burn. Hell, I'm surprised no one here asked for any pictures yet!!! [:D] [:X*]

Alright AZ if you are ready. I spent 9 yrs in that god forsaken state and the only thing I got was a severe sinus condition and a very severe case of foot rot from wearing jump boots every day. Doctors had me, and a couple of members of the dept, on all kinds of meds and cremes. Nothing worked.
Finally took a vacation and visited my grandmother who was 87 yr old. She told me that in her younger days on the farm everybody had fungus problems. Her surefired treatment was to use Lysol on the affected area, full strength. She got a bottle but I couldn't stand the smell. Got back to my mothers and told her about using Lysol and she says "been doing that for years only I use the spray". Now my feet were so cracked and raw that they were bleeding. I used the spray and waited for the burn, that never came. No burn, no chem lab smell, and they healed up within a week spraying them once a day. That was in 1975 and I have only had one flairup since. My son got a good case from the shower room at school and got rid of it in 4 days. He got another bad case in the Navy and everybody laughed at him until the Doc told him"if it works-use it". I have even used it on my 8 yr old daughter once when started getting splits between the toes, gone in 2 days. Now I know that Lysol in not intended for medical use and it might be a violation of law to use a product other than for its intended use, but dammit it works. Just a thought you might want to use a small bathing cap on that bald head. edit to add: If you decide to try it, let me know if it helped. |

For me, Gold Bond in the yellow container didn't do much of anything.
Cruex works in a day or so. Also, ointments containing zinc will dry out the area. You can probably find the ointments with zinc in the baby aisle for cheaper...most diaper rash ointments contain zinc. Those are the most effective OTC products I've used. Whatever the family doctor prescribes will probably be much stronger and effective. Keep the area clean, might be better to wash it during a bath rather than a shower since you'd more than likely leave soap in the area during a shower. mm |

Icy Hot was something you put on someone's jock strap when you wanted to get even for something, under these circunstances that would be grounds for MURDER!![:D] Any how, I'm trying the anti-fungals, and will try to keep the 'boys' dry which is almost impossible in this heat, by the way TexasEd and phil-in-Seatle, your warning about the 'Green' GB powder came too late!![devil] Again, thanks for all the help,AZMAN-1 out |
