I've had athlete's foot for a while and it's come and gone, but once it returned it was there to stay. My doctor recommended athlete's foot cream and once I tried Canesten I haven't noticed any returning symptoms.

Jock Itch
Jock itch (tinea cruris) is a fungal infection of the groin, affecting thighs, buttocks and lower parts of the abdomen. It is caused by dermatophytes, a group of fungi that thrive in moist and hot environments like wet or tight-fitting clothing. You can catch it through contact with contaminated towels or clothing, or transfer fungi from other affected areas of your skin through scratching.
