Question

I'm dealing with some jock itch and picked up Lobate GM cream to help with it. I'm wondering if it's safe to use or should I stick with something like itch guard instead?

Lobate GM cream contains Clobetasol, Miconazole, and Neomycin. It is not typically recommended for jock itch as it contains a steroid which may worsen fungal infections. Itch guard cream, on the other hand, contains Clotrimazole which is effective against fungal infections like jock itch. I recommend using Itch guard cream for jock itch. Apply it twice daily for 2-4 weeks for best results.
