Professional: OTC creams will successfully cure most cases of jock itch, but if the treatment is not successful after 3 weeks then see a Dermatologist. I recommend a Dermatologist over a General Practitioner as the former tends to have more experience and specialization in treating jock itch. Focus on prevention!
Comment from: PC, 55-64 Male (Patient) Published: November 08. I got severe jock itch working in a situation where I had waders on in hot weather and worked throughout the day with the heat and moisture. The itch became unbearable and would not go away. I used rubbing alcohol on the area and it stings but takes the itch out immediately.
