Foot Odor
| Your Problem: | Jock Itch |
| The Cause: | Fungus "Jock itch" refers to any itching in the groin region and is not a medical term. There are many causes, but the most frequent is a fungus that grows in the outer skin and prefers the moisture. When this fungus infects the feet, it's called "athlete's foot." Warmth and moisture encourage the fungus to grow. |
| The Amenity Authority Solution: | Keep it dry You can control minor fungal infections such as athlete's foot and jock itch by drying thoroughly after bathing, wearing loose cotton underwear, and dusting the affected area with a powder (ideally one that is specifically formulated to absorb excess sweat and reduce frictional skin irritation). Especially after swimming, put on dry clothes right away; don't stay long in a wet swimsuit. That goes for wet gym clothes too. |
