Lotrimin AF Jock Itch Antifungal Powder Spray

I have used this spray many times. I have used almost all of the other types of anti itch ointments and sprays. This is the best for me. An ointment tends to be wet when put on, and wetness encourages growth of fungus and bacteria. Even with this ointment I dry off with a hair dryer. Removing moisture is the best way to eliminate fungus. But that is impossible for the underarm and groin area. This is the best for me. Also, I will put on a vapor barrier, like a baby skin rash ointment, like Aquapore but different.

omg works immediately....so I am perimenopausal and sweat a lot down there....powder and keeping it clean wasnt working....this spray did though....I use it also on the bottom of my feet since the sweat horribly....this product is the BEST so far

Great product, I use it for itchy legs too

Has every reconstruction guy knows, you will eventually need this item. It works well for me in fighting and preventing jock-itch.

It’s good having this around because when you need it, you really need it. With this 3-pack I’m assured to have plenty. Excellent value.

Works great! Be careful for recalls and how reimbursements can be difficult.

The antifungal formula with 2% miconazole nitrate quickly relieves itching and discomfort caused by jock itch. The powder spray makes application easy and mess-free, and it helps keep the area dry, which prevents further irritation.

Works great but IS NOT a cure all for jock itch, at least for me. I know everyone's body reacts differently to medication but from my experience this does a good job of "killing" the fungus and eliminating the itch but doesn't fully cure the fungus. I've now had the unfortunate experience of getting jock itch two years in a row and the first year it spread to both legs and both groin areas, this did really help get it under control and eventually remove the fungus completely but it took almost 4 MONTHS!!! Yes it was the worst 4 months of my life, to the point where I had trouble sleeping from subconsciously trying to scratch this itch while sleeping all while subconsciously trying not to. The 2nd year I tried this spray in conjunction with a ketoconazole cream, using the spray about once every 3 days and the cream two out of those 3 days, mostly depending on activities: if I'm sitting and mostly indoors using the cream while physical activity using the spray. The biggest difference I've found is that the spray alone dries out your skin TOO much and the anti-itch properties of the spray might damage your skin, preventing healing and full removal of the jock itch fungus. Again, not a doctor but this is 100% my experience, jock itch thrives in moist and humid areas yes but the spray seems to be a little extreme where it dries your skin out to the point of cracking, which helps the fungus re-grow. I might have compounded the dryness problem the first year by using rubbing alcohol to spray my groin area after physical activity, thinking it would 1) keep it clean, 2) remove excess moisture, and 3) kill any surface fungus. NO, for anyone reading this, AVOID rubbing alcohol. Your skin needs to be healthy to fully heal. I wouldn't go so far as to use lotion to rehydrate the area but I found the cream and the spray very effective in combination with each other. And yes, I mean not directly on top of each other/ mixing the two medications, I mean after every shower use one or the other. Other tips I found: * For faster healing avoid physical activity, especially any activity that involves a lot of friction in the infected area, for me getting it around the groin area, I tried my best to not do any running, biking, or even walking. * Shower A LOT! Actually shower every time you get any sweat of any sort down in that area. I started showering 5-6 times in the winter when I had jock itch the second bout. Even if it was basic things like mopping the floor causing me to sweat. * After showering, DO NOT dry the area with a towel, or at least don't use that same towel that touches the infected area on any other part of your body. This was key in preventing it spreading the second time I had it. I used a hair dryer on cool shot/ basically a fan to dry the area. Yes every shower was taking almost 15-20 mins to dry afterwards. * Try to sit and even sleep a certain way to maximize air flow/ ventilation in the area. For me this usually just meant sitting with my legs open. In extreme cases I just wore my boxers around all day and had a fan blowing down under. * Diet and stress I'm sure play a factor but those above were the easiest factors I found to control. The first year it was so bad and when I started getting it again the second year I went crazy with the spray for 2 weeks but the rash didn't really improve and kept getting worse. I switched things up and 2-3 days later things started getting better and the rash completely went away in 2 weeks time.
