Spondylitis Association of America Forums General Discussion Men Only Message Board my bf has jock itch and...

i was wondering if i can catch it? wether through sex or just touching it in general? ive read up on it that its usually clears up on its own but everytime it does, it comes back. he showers twice a day and stays as dry as he can but he works outside in the muck and mud everyday getting sweaty and dirty so he really cant help it. any ideas on how he can keep it at bay?

I know this might sound goofy but tell him to stop by the local drug store and ask them for a chunk of alum...they have it. Tell him to carry it around in his pocket and believe it or not it will not be a problem anymore. My father inlaw has done this for probably 15 years and has no further problems...Give it a try!!
