Jock Itch: Causes and Home Remedies
Jock itch, as the name suggests, is a fungal infection that causes rashes in the groin and inner thighs area of men. It is more prevalent in those who sweat a lot, are obese or are athletes. It usually creates redness that appears ring-shaped or half-moon shaped on the affected area of the skin, and may burn a lot. The fungus that causes jock itch thrives in the close and moist environment, and spreads through sharing contaminated towels or clothing.
If you’re suffering from jock itch, there’s a simple household ingredient that can help you get rid of it – baking soda. Baking soda works by drying the affected area of the skin and limiting the reproduction of the fungus, while also balancing the pH level of the skin.
To use baking soda as a remedy, prepare a thick paste by mixing two tablespoons of baking soda and water. Apply the paste on the affected area and leave for 15 minutes, then wash it off with normal water, and make sure to dry it thoroughly. Repeat this process twice a day for required results.
Along with using baking soda, it’s important to maintain personal hygiene, wear clean and loose-fitting clothes, avoid sharing personal items, and to keep the affected area dry and uncovered as much as possible.
