OTC antifungal: Diligent use of a topical antifungal medicine for 2-3 weeks should do the trick. Lamisil, tinactin, (tolnaftate) and several others are all effective. If no response is seen with proper use, then you should see a dermatologist to make sure the diagnosis is correct.

Lamisil (terbinafine) Cream: Tinea cruris, or "jock itch", is a common condition that is caused by a fungus that affects the skin. Lamisil (terbinafine) cream is a common treatment of this condition that is extremely effective and is available without a prescription. Commonly, persons with tinea cruris have tinea pedis (athelete's foot), which should be treated as well. Often patients have intertrigo, which they mistake for "jock itch".

Topical antifungals: You should start with over the counter Lamisil (terbinafine) or lotrimin twice a day for 3-6 weeks. Also, make sure you do not have athletes foot as well as these two conditions go together.
