It’s every guy’s worst nightmare — you wake up one day with a seriously itchy crotch that refuses to go away. It’s painful, it’s inconvenient, and it’s definitely the kind of thing that’s hard to ask your doctor about. But don’t panic: Jock itch is a common and easy-to-treat condition, and we’ve got all the info you need to get rid of it quickly, and make sure it never comes back again.

What is Jock Itch?
We’ll let you in on a dirty little secret — jock itch, ringworm, and athlete’s foot are the exact same thing- a fungal infection more generally called tinea. It can actually grow anywhere on the body, but it thrives in dark, sweaty, poorly ventilated areas- probably the reason why it mostly appears on your feet or on your balls. And if you’re sweating throughout the course of your day, whether it’s at the gym, the office, or the jobsite, you’re at risk.
Jock Itch Protection
The good news? Even if you’re exposed to the fungus that causes jock itch, it won’t grow on you unless you let it. And since the fungus loves dirty, sweaty, wet areas, all you have to do is make sure your balls stay clean and dry. Shower and change your clothes after working out or sweating in them, don’t use dirty towels, and try not to wear super-tight clothing that restricts your movement or causes skin chafing. And consider adding a daily men’s powder to your routine- a quality powder will not only absorb moisture throughout the day but will also soothe chafed skin and fight against friction, preventing the causes of jock itch before they start. If you need to know more about men’s powder, we got you.
It also doesn’t hurt to wipe down gym equipment before and after you use it, although we’re assuming as a good human being you were already doing that – weren’t you?
