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!
Cranberry pills might help to alleviate jock itch discreetly. Cranberry pills contain vitamins and nutrients -- for example, vitamin E, an anti-inflammatory agent -- that can help to restore the pH balance and reduce the inflammation that causes jock itch. Added a more authoritative reference.
