What Are The Symptoms Of Jock Itch?
Question: I think I have jock itch. I am female and my upper thigh inner leg area is itchy and the skin is falling off. I wen to a dermatologist and she prescribed clindamycin phosphate topical lotion. She never looked at the affected area. But after reading up on the medication I am wondering if this is the right thing to take or if there is an over the counter med that would do the job. I also have tines versicolar and tend to get fungus I the areas where I sweat.
Thank you,

Hi
I understand your concern regarding your skin problem and I hope I am able to help you in the same.
Clindamycin is an antibiotic cream and does not have any role in fungal infections.
I would like to have a look at the exact skin condition to see if it is a fungal or a bacterial infection .
