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!
Since the fungus or the bacteria causing jock itch loves to live in warm, moist areas, using alcohol can dry a certain area completely and this will help get rid of jock itch. 1  Find an alcohol with high isopropyl amount. The higher the amount is, the better it will be. 2  Place the alcohol on a clean cotton ball.
