well my doctor prescribed nystatin and triamcinolone acetonide Cream for a fungus i had on my face.... so a jock itch is a fungus. but to be safe especially if it wasn't prescribed to you just go to the store and buy some jock itch creamTriamcinolone acetonide cream?
If you truly have jock itch, the use of triamcinolone cream (a steroid cream) will diminish your body's ability to fight the infection, and hence you'd run the risk of worsening the infection by using the cream. You'd need to use an antifungal cream for the jock itch. (Of course, you also have to know that there are two types of jock itch: mold fungus and yeast fungus, and the two don't always respond to the same antifungal creams.)
It's a prescription hydrocortisone cream. Jock itch is usually caused by a fungus (it's basically a male yeast infection). You're better off going to walmart or riteaid and getting an over the counter cream designed specifically for the fungus that causes jock itch, like Lotrimin.
No - that's a steriod cream if you really have jock itch you'll need to get an anti-fungal cream
