A doctor has provided 1 answer

Has your jock itch, which is a yeast or fungal infection caused by friction&moisture, been cleared up? If not, the hives may be secondary to your jock itch. I find that atarax is more effective in treating hives. The cause of hives can be elusive though. If they continue, I recommend seeing an allergist for evaluation& treatment. A combination ointment like mycolog can clear up jock itch.
