Yikes...What can you do about it?
Have any of you all gotten a bad case of the itch and if so how long had it lasted? Can you safely copulate with it??? Should I masterbate while I have it?? What are your best cures?

The 1 & only time I got it, I turned to Lamisil after it had just become an OTC medication. It worked a miracle!

Still needing help and information!
Hope to hear some responses!

I use any of the jock itch sprays on the market, As to masturbating while having jock itch, it never stopped me! wink

Six days after your initial posting and you are still looking for input from people here? Why haven't you talked to a doctor yet?

maybe I am just looking for more input!
As with any topic life experience is a good thing. Just looking for other experiences etc.

Try tea tree oil - it defeats it quickly. Use Bonds powder or spray daily (important to use it regularly after workouts etc.) to keep it at bay...Jock itch doesn't interfere with sex or masturbation unless you're terribly inflamed in which case you should use tea tree oil immediately - you can apply directly with a cotton ball or tissue or even your clean fingertip...
sugar/alcohol intake should be limited as well if you're prone to this...
if you have breakouts or rashes elsewhere on your body, you may have ringworm which also can be taken care of relatively easily...
(i have lots of experience taking care of kids - so poison oak/ivy, heat rashes, etc., are common and expected)
