I'm working the night shift and dealing with some unbearable jock itch, the itching and pain are really getting to me. Could you recommend any medicine that might help? Also, I'm wondering about what foods I should eat or avoid. Is it okay to have dal, ghee, chicken, eggs, fish, or wheat during this time? Plus, is it safe to hit the gym with this condition? Would appreciate any advice you can offer!
