It causes an itchy, scaly rash — often with a raised, slightly worm-like border — that can feel hot and moist. It’s the same family of fungus that causes ringworm and athlete’s foot, and it thrives in warm, damp areas, which is why it’s more common in people who sweat a lot or wear athletic gear in that area. It’s mildly contagious and spreads through skin contact or shared towels and clothing, but it usually clears within about two weeks of consistent antifungal treatment.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n  \u003ch3\u003eSelf-care products available in our shop\u003c\/h3\u003e\n  \u003cul\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eAntifungal creams (e.g., clotrimazole\/Canesten, terbinafine\/Lamisil, miconazole)\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eAntifungal powders to keep the groin area dry\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eMoisture-wicking, breathable cotton underwear\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eApply the antifungal to the rash and 2–3 cm beyond its border, keep using it for the full time (usually about 2 weeks, even after it looks better), wash and dry the area well, change underwear daily, and don’t share towels or clothing.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n  \u003cdiv class=\"ocp-ail-rx\"\u003e\n    \u003ch3\u003eTreatments our pharmacist can prescribe\u003c\/h3\u003e\n    \u003cp class=\"ocp-ail-note\"\u003eFor your information only: in Ontario, our pharmacist can assess this condition and, when appropriate, prescribe from the medications listed below.
