Jock Itch

What is jock itch?

Jock itch is an itchy rash of the groin that results from a superficial fungal infection of your skin. Men and women encounter the disease worldwide, although it is seen more often in the humid tropics. The rash may affect only your groin, but it may spread to include your inner thighs, genitals, and areas around your anus, rectum, or vagina.

Jock itch causes

The fungus that most commonly causes jock itch is called Trichophyton rubrum. It also causes fungal infections of the toes and body. Under the microscope, this fungus looks like translucent, branching, rod-shaped filaments or hyphae. The width of the hyphae is uniform throughout, which helps distinguish it from hair, which tapers at the end.

Jock Itch Testimonials

John - Indanapolis, Indiana

I have to tell you my story. I ordered your Naturasil product and it was promptly shipped and we had it in two days. My son is 15 years old and has had chronic jock itch from all of the sports he plays and the locker rooms he is in constantly. He applied your product and the jock itch dried up and went away in less than three days completely. He continues to use your product as a preventative and is very happy with the results.

Thank you for making something that really works!

AIMS: To investigate the in vitro antifungal activity of the components of Melaleuca alternifolia oil. METHODS AND RESULTS: Activity was investigated by broth microdilution and macrodilution, and time kill methods. Components showing the most activity, with minimum inhibitory concentrations and minimum fungicidal concentrations of < or =0.25%, were terpinen-4-ol, alpha-terpineol, linalool, alpha-pinene and beta-pinene, followed by 1,8-cineole. The remaining components showed slightly less activity and had values ranging from 0.5 to 2%, with the exception of beta-myrcene which showed no detectable activity. Susceptibility data generated for several of the least water-soluble components were two or more dilutions lower by macrodilution, compared with microdilution. CONCLUSIONS: All Melaleuca Alternifolia components, except beta-myrcene, had antifungal activity. The lack of activity reported for some components by microdilution may be due to these components becoming absorbed into the polystyrene of the microtitre tray. This indicates that plastics are unsuitable as assay vessels for tests with these or similar components. SIGNIFICANCE AND IMPACT OF THE STUDY: This study has identified that most components of Melaleuca Alternifolia have activity against a range of fungi. However, the measurement of antifungal activity may be significantly influenced by the test method.
