Response To Jock Itch by: Nanette From Skin-Remedies.com
Hello,
It doesn't surprise me that after using hydrocortisone cream for a couple of years that your jock itch has worsened. You must realize that using steroid creams - especially in such a sensitive area - will produce harmful side effects in addition to worsening your symptoms. These side effects include: thinning of the skin, easy bruising, permanent dilation of certain blood vessels, burn marks on skin, liver and kidney damage and a weakened immune system.
Let me say, for our website viewers, that jock itch is the popular name given to an itchy rash in the groin that commonly involves the inner thighs and adjacent skin, including the scrotum in males. The medical name for this condition is "intertrigo." Jock itch is associated with sweating, friction/abrasion and sealing in moisture and heat by adjacent clothing, and the direct rubbing of skin on skin. The rash may affect not only the groin, but it can involve any areas of skin that overlap.
I will give you my strong recommendation to treat your jock itch and further protect this delicate skin area. First, wash carefully with our FACE & BODY WASH as this will cleanse deeply and has anti-fungal properties to begin the healing process. Then gently pat dry the area and apply a thin coat of our MY DAUGHTER'S HAND & BODY THERACREAM. This hypo-allergenic cream will reduce inflammation, stop the itching, penetrate the 7 layers of skin to lift damaged cells and provide anti-microbial and anti-bacterial protection. I recommend you apply the cream twice daily.
Please keep me posted on your progress. Warm Regards, Nanette
