I've been experiencing a lot of itching around my private areas and have noticed both white and dark black patches there. It's really uncomfortable, and I'm not sure what's causing it. Can you suggest any medicines or treatments that could help me get rid of this itching? Also, is there anything specific I should be doing to soothe it?

I'm really struggling with a case of jock itch that's making my life pretty uncomfortable. It's all red and scaly and the itching is driving me nuts. I've tried so many over-the-counter options like Quadriderm and Triben Plus, but they only seem to work for a bit before the itch comes right back. Even the home remedies I've tried don't seem to help. What can I do to finally get rid of this?
