Hello lybrate-user,
if it has not improved at all with antifungal agents; either the diagnosis is not correct or culture sensitivity reports to fungus need to be done and appropriate course of management taken after the reports are back. It is possible to do that only with a face to face consultation.

Jock itch is a very common groin rash. Roughly half of jock itch is due to fungus. The remainder is caused by moisture, irritation, and bacterial overgrowth.
In most cases, jock itch can be treated at home effectively. You can try the following remedies to get rid of the infection: 1.Apply over-the-counter antifungal cream, powder, or spray to the affected area - our best options include Lamisil, Lotrimin Ultra, and/or Naftin. These are more expensive, but they will get rid of jock itch faster. Prefer Lotrimin Ultra which contains Butenafine Hydrochloride over regular Lotrimin AF which just contains clotrimazole. Studies have shown Butenafine can be faster and more effective than clotrimazole.
You can also purchase cheaper creams containing clotrimazole or miconazole. These will take a little longer to work, but they will effectively wipe out jock itch.
2.Wash the affected area thoroughly with soap and warm water.
3.Dry the affected area thoroughly after bathing and exercise.
4.Change clothes and undergarments every day.
5.Wear loose cotton clothing. Avoid wearing any clothing that rubs or irritates your crotch.
6.Treat any other fungal infections, such as athlete’s foot. Doing this will decrease the risk for recurrence.
Common symptoms include:
peeling, cracking, and scaling of the skin. Redness, blisters, or softening and breaking down of the skin.
Itching, burning, or both.
Antifungal drugs and ointment are used.
