Suggest Treatment For Severe Jock Itch

default
Posted on Tue, 16 May 2017
Question: I have had severe Jock Itch for a month or so. This last week, I have been using Aquapor and Zinc Oxide each twice/day. There has been maybe a 25 percent improvement...still bad. I seem to sence that the Aquapor is not helping; today I started using zinc oxide four times a day. Is this the best that I can do, or is there something else that I can apply. (The condition is no doubt worsened by the fact that my left testicle is six times normal size.)
