“Symptoms of jock itch”
Hi í was wondering if I have jock itch?
I have had it for weeks and every time I sweat and am hot my groin itches a bit and when I am traveling and do not shower everyday there will be like a moist sports in the groin area of my underwear that has some kind of a bad odor?
Do you know what that is and how do I treat it?
I am traveling the world right now and can not talk to the doctors here or the people in the pharmacy because of a language barrier.

Could be thrush on top of eczema / dermatitis/ try Hydroxole cream
Jock itch is normally a light yeast infection of the groin area. It is treated by application of an anti-mycotic salve which you should be able to find at the drugstore. Meanwhile, you need to pay attention to keeping your groin area dry. A daily change of underwear should help this considerably.
Hello,
Yes, I'm sure it is what you say, also called Dhobies. It is a fungus infection of the skin. An anti-fungal such as miconazole powder, lotion, or tincture needs to be applied 2-3 times a day. Look online if you can for fungal remedies available to you in your country.

Try a simple anti-fungal cream from a local pharmacy. If the itch goes away, you have the solution. Make sure to shower daily as much as possible and keep the area clean and dry.

Probably a tines/fungal infection - Need a week of antifungal cream.
There is a good chance that you have jock’s itch. It usually needs topical antifungal which usually end with -azole.
Hygiene plays an important role as you mentioned. So try to keep it dry. Avoid underwears which does have good ventilation (contains nylons etc). Use 100% cotton underwear and use a hair drier to dry up after taking shower.

You could possibly have "Jock Itch," but it needs to be visualized by a physician in order for a correct diagnosis can be made. I would suggest that you see a doctor in the place that you are at. Or go to an American embassy and find out if they can recommend a doctor that speaks a language that you are familiar with.
