How To Get Rid Of Jock Itch?
My 4 year old has what I think is a bad case of Jock itch. red Pimples surrounding the genital area and bottom.
How can I get rid of this? I have tried Diaper creams, Neosporin, Hydrocortison, triamcinolone and lots of baby powder.
It almost goes away and then comes right back.
