Jock itch is caused by a fungus called Trichophyton rubrum. It is a fungal skin infection which is caused by fungus. Usually it affects the skin of inner thighs, genitals, groin area and the buttocks. Usually this fungus grows in the moist and the warm part of the body. It is also famous by the name of Tinea cruris. It causes a lot of discomforts but it is not a serious infection. Mainly men get affected by this problem in comparison to women. Persons who are overweight and who profusely sweat also get infected by this problem.
Usually the fungus which causes jock itch starts to develop in the warm and the moist area. When the moist part of our body becomes too warm so that it starts sweating, then it results into fungus infection known as jock itch. It is also caused by putting on tight clothes and tight undergarments. The tight clothes aggravate the symptoms of jock itch. People suffering from AIDS and diabetes have weak immune system so they are more prone to this infection. It is also mildly contagious and any person may get infected if he or she comes in contact with the infected person. If any person is infected with the jock itch then avoid sharing his personal belongings. If some one is suffering from some other infection like athlete's foot then also it may result into the jock itch.
Some of the important symptoms of jock itch are peeling and cracking of groin skin, burning sensation around the groin area, red, itchy ring shaped rashes and skin becomes more sensitive.
Jock itch can be treated with the help of home remedies easily. Some effective home remedies are -
1. Keep the moist and warm part of your body completely dry and clean.
2. Intake of garlic in large quantities can be increased in your food as jock itch is a fungal infection and it will reduce the complication caused by the jock itch.

QUESTION:
Does anyone know any good and safe natural home remedies for Kidney Stones?
I get Kidney Stones. I'm a 24 year old female. My first stone was when I was 18 years old. I believe in the left kidney, if I am remembering correctly. If anyone reading this has ever had them, then you know they're excruciating!
At that time, I had insurance (I live in the state of PA so I was covered under some PA insurance for children called CHIP.) so, I went to the local ER. Determined I had one small stone. It was a couple millimeters. They said to drink TONS of water and try to catch it, and gave me Percocet for the pain. I ended up passing the stone after about 2 days. But, was unable to catch it, so I don't know what causes my stones. I currently have no health insurance and no money to pay for doctors and such, and visits to the ER are very expensive here.Back in December I got the same pain I get from a Kidney Stone in my right kidney. Went to the ER, they didn't do much for me, since I have no way to pay. They give you very minimal treatment if you can't pay. They basically just gave me a prescription for Vicodin and 800mg of Ibuprofen tablets. I had pain off and on for about a week, eventually, it just stopped. I never did pass the stone though, I'm sure of that. Then about a week ago, I started getting really bad pain in my left kidney. So, I guess I have a new stone in there. I had some Vicodin left from December. But, I used all that. Now all I have is the Ibuprofen. It doesn't really work. I should go to the ER when I get pain again, but I am tired of racking up huge bills that I can't pay. Not to mention, they usually just give Vicodin for the pain (which no longer works on me) and if I ask for something else it might just look like I only want the drugs. So, I'm trying not to go to the ER unless I really have to. Thankfully, today has been pain free. I hope it stays that way. But, I'm sure I didn't pass the stone. As far as I know, I have at least one in each kidney.
So, what I am wondering, does anyone know any real (and SAFE) natural remedies that can help break up/dissolve kidney stones? I've been reading up online about all this stuff, I read that Apple Cider Vinegar mixed with some warm water is supposed to help certain kinds of kidney stones. I don't know what mine are from though or if the ACV solution will help. But, I started trying it last night. I also read Lemon Juice with Olive Oil helps, but there is no way I am trying that one. That sounds horrible. I am just barely managing the ACV. I also read Lemon Juice with water helps. I might be able to try that one. They're the only ones I know though.
So, please, if anyone knows any other safe, natural home remedies I can try that would help break up/dissolve my stones, that'd be great. Also, for those familiar with the remedies I already mentioned, does anyone know if they're good for all kinds of kidney stones? Or, only certain kinds? And, which kinds are these remedies good for? Sorry for this being so long and informational, I just wanted to be as specific as possible about my history in case it helps. I'm just desperate to try to get rid of these stones and get some relief. Please, honest and thoughtful answers only!
