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!
That depends on a couple of factors. If you are healthy and practice good hygiene, jock itch will sometimes go away without treatment. However, it can take up to a month to do so. If you use an antifungal ointment to treat jock itch, it usually goes away within two weeks.
