Can You Suggest Oral Medication For Jock Itch?

I went to the ER for a spreading rash from my inner thigh , to up on my stomach area . They said it was jock itch , but i also have bug like bites on both butt cheeks , they provided a cream called clotrimazole i was wondering if there is anything i can take orally to get these to leave faster ?

Hi..
Welcome to HEALTHCARE MAGIC..

I have gone through your query and can understand your concerns....

As per your complain jock itch is a fungal infection of groin region or the area of inner thighs around the genitals..
It can occur commonly due to accumulation of moisture in the area of the groin..
Wearing tight fitting clothes can also avoid air flow in the area leading to more of moisture..
I would suggest you to continue applying the Clotrimazole cream after cleaning the area with a mild soap and water..
Wear loose fitting clothes and cotton undergarments..
Use clean towels and tissues for cleaning the area..
Always wear clean and regularly washed undergarments..

Hope this information helps..

Thanks and regards.
