What Causes Severe Itchiness In The Groin Area?

Hi, I have been very disappointed with the jock itch I am having near groin, all itchiness and very annoying. Few days earlier it started coming near my belly button. I have had this before and I was using a cream called zoderm e and it very well worked out. So do you guys think it will be a right option to apply it on my jock itch and near belly button??

Hi. Zoderm E is a good anti fungal and it would definitely help in in jock itch. If it is spreading, one has to add oral antifungal like terbinafine or itraconazole. Also, keep the area dry. You might use a clotrimazole based dusting powder. Hope it helps
