Are you an athelete? It could be from sweat and in turn irritation. Is it bumpy and red? Blisters?

Hey thanks for answering me im well it was referring to my husband he has been gone with the military and he was working in the kitchen so I guess he was staying wet in that area now it is really bothering him he is sweating and itching there alot but he has went to the doctor he told him it was jock itch so he gave him cream it seemed to help at first but now its getting worse again he has went thru 4 tubes of medicine now so I was just wondering if maybe its a yeast infection instead of the jock itch and if he can use the medicine that a woman uses when she has one or if he needs something else

He should listen to his doctors advice.

But if it is folliculitis his currently treatment want help.

Corn starch based powder is the best option for keeping the area
dry, ordinary powder clummps together when wet at makes
things worse.

He might also like to try putting on some mild skin softening cream. If his skin is dry and cracked it will cause itching.

I don't think guys get yeast infections being as we don't have a uterus and birth canal and stuff. Those areas in a woman, when the good bacteria in that area is not plentious enough, will have an increase in yeast, which in turn is where we get the term yeast infection...So bottom line, he does not have a yeast infection...He just works in a hot climate which induces a lot of body sweat. He probably sweats heavily under his arms too...Right?

men also suffer from yeast infections, however they are are less common in men relative to women.

Well lawerence he doesnt sweat under his arms bad like that and he had been using the cream for jock itch for a while and it was getting worse so I got him some yeast infection cream and it helped a little but then I bought him some vagigaurd which is for itching burning and wetness or sweating in that area and it is keeping him from itching and also from not being as wet but he is still not getting better as of yet which I know it will probably take a while because he was really bad
