Hello, Severe jock itch in the groin and stomach area is often caused by a fungal infection. Itch Guard provides temporary relief but may not be sufficient for severe cases. Use an antifungal cream containing clotrimazole or terbinafine twice daily and keep the area clean and dry. Avoid tight clothing, and wash affected areas with mild soap.
Next Steps
For persistent itching, I recommend an online consultation to prescribe oral antifungal medication if necessary. I am happy to help you further.

Fungal infections in the groin and buttocks are commonly referred to as ringworm, jock itch or tinea cruris. They occur when certain types of fungi, such as dermatophytes, grow and multiply in warm and moist areas of the body, like the groin. Symptoms of a fungal infection in the groin may include: Red, itchy rash: The affected area often becomes red, itchy, and inflamed. The rash may have well-defined edges and small, raised blisters or scales. Itching and burning: The rash can cause intense itching and a burning sensation, which can be uncomfortable. Peeling or cracking skin: The skin in the groin area may become dry, flaky, or start to peel. Odor: Fungal infections can sometimes cause an unpleasant odor. If the symptoms persist or worsen despite self-care measures, it is advisable to consult a healthcare professional or dermatologist. They can provide a proper diagnosis and recommend appropriate treatment options, which may include prescription-strength antifungal medications.

Itch guard may reduce the amount of fungus but may not be enough to be used alone. You may need additional oral medications , based on the extent and severity of the disease
