    I ad this problem for 20+ years and tried many things, including a systemic potion prescribed by the GP (that may have been Lamisil). None worked. I now think that these potions were not just useless but downright dangerous, and I wish I'd not used any of them.

    My fungus/athletes foot cleared up some years back. I have no idea why. But it was long after I'd stopped bothering with the creams/drugs.

    I now think it's better to live with the relatively minor inconvenience of the 'disease' rather than any drugs.

    Prevent it by not wearing cotton or man made fibre socks.

      I assumed it had to do with itchy groin - called Jock Strap itch sometimes. 

      Trouble is it is not necessarily due to a fungus - just an age thing I suspect?

      Maybe he should have titled the thread Atheletes Crotch cheesygrin

      I do have  some itching "down there" though/ Probably getting things damp when I have flow troubles at night
