Question by diggerm82: whats the diffrence between candida and jock itch if any?
If you’re a male and have it in the groin area, what do you use that works over the counter or home remedies? Yes, I have gone to the doctor for it last summer. I only get it in the summer hence I live in Arizona where we live in 110 temps and we sweat a lot.

Candidiasis is caused by Candida albicans, a fungal disease more common in females (they proliferate when the vaginal acidity is very low) and jock itch is caused by Trychophyton mentagrophytes that can usually be found in soil/moist things. Just keep the area clean and dry.
