I'm dealing with jock itch and recently tried to remove hair in the area, but now it's itching like crazy because the small hair follicles are growing back and it's really uncomfortable. Is there some kind of ointment that can numb the surface? The jock itch seems to be almost cured, but this new itching from the hair follicles is driving me mad.
