Recurrences of jock itch can be because of 3 reasons: 1. Incomplete treatment: jock itch can take 3-6 months to cure. Kindly stick to the treatment suggested and do not stop treatment until your dermatologist recommends. 2. Fungus can stay in cloths, toilet seat, nails and cause reinfection. Therefore, follow all the precautions given in this video url Be/gn6stgzn3lo 3 resistant infection. Again a dermatologist alone can help you in this case.
