I've been dealing with jock itch and these white itching patches in my jock area for over a year now. Ive tried using antifungal powder, but it doesnt seem to work. Is there something else I can do to get relief from this? Im really worried its not going away, and I just dont know what to try next. Could there be another underlying issue causing this?

Persistent jock itch and white patches can be frustrating. Since antifungal powder hasn't worked, consider:

Consult a dermatologist: Get a proper diagnosis and guidance.

Try antifungal creams: Clotrimazole, miconazole, or terbinafine might be more effective.

Improve hygiene: Wash the area with soap and water, dry thoroughly, and wear breathable clothing.

Tea tree oil: Mix a few drops with a carrier oil (coconut or olive) and apply to the affected area.
