According to dermatologists, the best creams for jock itch contain active ingredients like miconazole, clotrimazole, terbinafine, or tolnaftate. Here are some of the best creams for jock itch based on guidance from dermatologists:
-
Lotrimin Ultra Antifungal Jock Itch Cream: This cream contains butenafine hydrochloride to help kill the fungus that causes jock itch. It’s formulated to work quickly and relieve itching, burning, cracking, and scaling that accompany not just jock itch but other fungal infections too. It requires a bit more maintenance than other options, involving washing and drying the affected area, and applying a thin layer, twice a day for two weeks.
-
Lotrimin Jock Itch Antifungal Cream: This is Lotrimin’s basic antifungal jock itch cream. It’s a scaled-down version of the cream above and great for less severe infections. It only needs to be applied once daily for two weeks, rather than twice.
-
TAGRID Jock Itch Cream: This cream is a safe, fast, and effective cream with unique ingredients backed by incredible lots of good feedback and support from many users.
-
Up & Up Jock Itch Antifungal Cream: This product contains clotrimazole 1%, an antifungal, which compares to the active ingredient in Lotrimin® AF. It relieves itching, burning, scaling, chafing, and discomfort associated with jock itch. It is a greaseless, non-staining cream that provides itching and burning relief due to jock itch.
It is important to note that while these creams have positive reviews, they may also have some negative side effects. It is best to consult a dermatologist before using any of these creams.
