A member asked:

I use of the counter anti fungal cream my doctor recommended and my foreskin shrinks.

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Anti-fungal: Cream doesn't shrink your foreskin. Maybe some inflammation and swelling has occurred in the tissue due to the infection.

A member asked:

Good morning. I have had a re-occurring jock itch for almost a year now. I have tried all kinds of over the counter cream but nothing will clear it up. It is only on my right side. It does not get raw or anything but it has become an issue. Is there anything I can be prescribed for this without having to go into a doctor's office? Itching for almost a year?
