Please resubmit: this info with a question. Let us know also if the "jock itch" is improving or not. Jock itch (tinea curis) is caused by a group of "yeasts" (fungi) known as dermatophytes. Some have developed resistance to common anti-fungals. A change of medication may do the trick. An oral med might be needed if jock itch keeps coming back. Keeping the area dry & wearing boxers & roomy pants can help.
