Need Medication For Jock Itch

I have recurring "jock itch" like symptoms and subsequent yeast infections. I've never had this before. What can be causing this? What treatment is available? I've used traditional OTC treatment and even a stronger prescription. In addition I've used vinegar and tea tree oil

Hi.
Welcome to Healthcare Magic.

The reasons for repeated yeast infections are:
1. Immuno compromised condition.
2. Diabetes.
3. Thyroid abnormalities.
4. Poor personal hygiene.

If once when we know the exact cause then we can treat it accordingly.
You may be required to use topical anti-fungal cream for 2 weeks along with oral anti-fungal medications.

Please try to see your Doctor, so that he can perform blood work and then can plan your treatment accordingly.

Hope this helps.
If you have any other questions, then i will be happy to answer them.

Wish you good health.

Regards.
Dr. Surender sharma.
