I've been dealing with this really uncomfortable itch near my bikini line for almost a month now, and I'm super shy about seeing a doctor about it. The area has gotten pretty red, and it just won't stop itching. I looked it up, and it seems to be jock itch. Can anyone recommend a good cream or medicine I can try?

Based on your description, it sounds like you may be experiencing jock itch, which is a fungal infection that causes redness and itching in the groin area. You can try using an over-the-counter antifungal cream such as Lotrimin Ultra or Lamisil AT. Apply the cream to the affected area twice a day for 2-4 weeks, or as directed on the package insert. Additionally, keeping the area clean and dry, wearing loose-fitting clothing, and avoiding sharing personal items can help prevent the spread of the infection.
