I had jock itch one year back. It is cured now after using silicon lotion (ketoconazole 2%).but recently one or two itchy red bumps in the groin area had appeared which disappeared after applying soluken lotion for 5-6 days. Can I use ketozit lotion or ketoconazole lotion meant for dandruff on the groin area in future? Soluken lotion is not available in the local market.
