When you are attempting to treat jock itch with a home remedy; be careful when using powder.  Don’t use baby powder on the infected area.  It contains corn starch which will attract the fungus and will cause it to spread even more.  If you use a powder, use a talcum powder and not a baby powder.

Garlic has been a well known natural cure for jock itch for a long time.  If you take it orally, you will want to take it in capsule form as it is really unpleasant in raw form.  You should take about three times the amount prescribed on the bottle.  It is a food product so you don’t have to worry about overdosing on it.  You can also take the garlic and blend or mince it in some olive oil and use it as a compress to the affected area.

Clothing

Paying attention to your clothing and what type you wear and how clean they are can be a very beneficial type of natural cure for jock itch.  Specifically, you should wear loose cotton clothing or a synthetic type of material that will absorb moisture.  Always wear a clean pair of cotton shorts over an athletic supporter to help prevent the rubbing of skin and additional sweat.  Whenever you can you should change out of sweaty clothing.  Never put sweaty clothes back on.  Also, don’t ever share your clothing or towels with others.

Something you may want to consider when choosing a natural cure for your jock itch is to recognize if you are overweight and are in need of shedding some pounds.  The heavier you become, the more skin folds exist that add more damp and moist environments for the fungus to grow in.

Bleach

There is a natural remedy for jock itch that is dangerous; but, effective if used properly.  Take a water bottle of three parts water and add this to one part bleach.  Mix this together and shake it up really well.  Never put it on yourself in pure form or you will be visiting the ER with chemical burns.  Next, you’ll need to get a washcloth and a dropper like an ear syringe and put it on the affected area every few hours.  The bleach will kill it as it is a form of liquid death.

Hydrogen Peroxide

My husband was having problems with the itching and ended up trying a type of home cure for his jock itch that was quite effective.  The formula he used was to take three per cent hydrogen peroxide (35 % food grade hydrogen peroxide diluted 1:10 with filtered water) and then spray it unto the affected area in the morning and evening, allowing it to dry out afterward.  The jock itch went away and the use of this spray didn’t cause any sting at all.  The jock itch hasn’t returned in over two years.  This has turned out to be a very cheap and effective home remedy for treating jock itch.
