Get thee to the drugstore for some anti fungal product, and you will be better soon! I don't the answer to this is Jock itch cuz...Jock itch, or groin ringworm (tinea cruris), involves the skin of the groin and sometimes the upper thighs and buttocks. It is most often seen in adult men, but may also occur in women. Jock itch is not contagious. In many cases, the source of the infection is the patient�s own feet. Jock itch and athlete�s foot frequently occur together or in close succession.Tinea cruris usually appears as scaly, ring-shaped patches with slightly raised borders that develop in the groin area and spread outward to one or both thighs, causing some redness and itching. The skin of the scrotum and penis are usually spared, a feature that helps distinguish this condition from some other skin diseases with similar symptoms.Yea, so Jock itch has nothing to do with the scrotum, it's definitely something else.Maybe because the scrotum is probably being irritated by something like very tight boxers or something.ANSWERThere is a huge amount of information regarding your condition. I have also experienced the same and was originally told it was Jock Itch. After two weeks of treatment, I was told it was told it was Eczema. One suggestion, get off dairy and no coffee. Get plenty of rest and remove as much stress as you can. Seek an Alternative Medicine Doctor and ask him for an herbal remedy. If you would like more information, message me directly.
