Jock itch: Jock itch is a groin eruption usually caused by the combination of recurrent friction and a yeast infection. It is characterized by large region or red rash which may get worse if simple cortisone cream or ointment is applied. Treatment consists of avoidance of tight underwear and application of an antiyeast ointment. This can be combined with cortisone such as in mycolog to curtail itching.
