Home Remedies for Jock Itch

Listerine

Listerine [12] is a mouthwash with antifungal and antibacterial properties. While it is not specifically designed to treat jock itch, applying it to the site of infection can boost recovery by killing some of the fungi there. It is an antiseptic, so expect it to burn at first.

Use a cotton ball dipped in Listerine to gently rub the surface of your jock itch. Leave the solution to dry by itself. You can use Listerine multiple times a day to get relief from your symptoms. Choose dye-free Listerine for this purpose.

Conclusion

Most people never have to see a doctor when they have jock itch. Several natural remedies can help you treat tinea cruris, but you must be sure it is what you are dealing with and not some other skin condition. This will prevent you from mistakenly hurting yourself. See a doctor if your symptoms last more than two weeks after treatment at home.
