Question 7

hi. i have a bad case of jock itch for 8 years. it itches like crazy mainly  if i eat bread or anything sweet. i tried tea tree oil, and applied it directly on it. it burned like hell, but the next day it was gone. now it's back. what do i do?

Accepted Answer

Stop self treating: Get examined. You will need to stop any oils which will "lock in" any fungal infection. You will need to be examined,placed on both oral antifungal antibiotic and a cream that contains antifungal and cortisone medications. 8 years is a bit absurd...and you now have a chronic skin condition. Consider a dermatology evaluation.

Question 8

i have a raised red streak on the base of my penis. there are small, blister like spots, one which broke open, and it itches. is this jock itch?

Accepted Answer

Bump: Could be but could also be molluscum or herpes. Have it checked by your doctor, urologist or dermatologist.

Question 9

i have a rash in the crease of my buttocks abottom of bikini line. i fear it may be shingles. it has lasted months. i tried cortozone creams, jock itch cream, tripicol and alchohol. it itches really bad. if i scratch it gets worse. it is bumpy and sometim

Accepted Answer

This : This is unlikely shingles since the rash itself has lasted months. Perhaps it is a fungal infection or folliculitis or eczema or psoriasis?  I would recommend you see a dermatologist and get an accurate diagnosis so you can start good treatment to help your symptoms.  It is quite common to have these conditions in that location. I hope that helps a little.

Question 10

i recently had surgery the skin around the incision on my scrotum is  itching and peeling this may be jock itch how do i treat the raw skin?

Accepted Answer

Surgery: You should call and have the surgeon who performed the procedure examine this. It may be secondarily infected and you want to be sure that the surgery is not undone by this. Go and chat with them.
