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!
1 You can also purchase cheaper creams containing clotrimazole or miconazole. 2  These will take a little longer to work, but they will effectively wipe out jock itch. 3  Even when the symptoms disappear, you need to apply cream to your groin area for the amount of time specified on the package.
