Jock itch
Ok so my bf will proly like kill me for asking lol but like he gets jock itch like twice a year. he gets the stuff from the store and that fixes it. But is there a way to stop it from coming back? i already made him switch to boxers.
One other thing is it safe to be with him? Is it contagious?
Jock itch is a fungus and thrives in dark, moist areas. It is easily controlled with over the counter anti-fungal medication. And, yes, it is contagious. It can be transmitted through close skin to skin contact.
make sure he washes the area every day, and dry's properly, if you don't dry the area it can remain moist.I've had jock itch twice in my life, the first time from not washing enough, the second time it was probably just from being active/hormones. If he's athletic, tell him to wash the area after activity, as much as possible. That's something I don't do sometimes, and it may be necessary for some people.Twice a year seems far too often.
He should keep using the cream for at least a week after it all goes. If you are having sex with him you should use the cream too. It is possible to carry the fungus and pass it on without noticing any symptoms.
thanks ppl. ok no sex for him for a little bit but i will make sure he cleans good.
But if you've had sex with him earlier, you may already be infected and carrying the fungus, even without symptoms, so you should use the cream.
oh. thanks i will.
