    Crotch rot, jock itch are both due to the Candida Albicans fungus (yeast).

    This is also the same fungus that gives you athlete's foot, ringworm, nail fungus and, for women, vaginitis.

    You can use lotrimin AF cream or spray or any other similar anti-fungal product. You can order Zeasorb-AF powder through your drug store, if they don't carry it on the shelves. Or you can use yogurt. Eat plain yogurt about 3 times a week, and/or use it like a cream on the area. It will smell, but the acidophilous bacteria in the yogurt neutralizes yeast.

    Wear loose cotton undies, sleep nude to allow for some "air-out" time and if possible try to discreetly sun-bathe in the nude for brief periods of time. Hope it helps
