Persistent jock itch and white patches can be frustrating. Since antifungal powder hasn't worked, consider:1. _Consult a dermatologist_: Get a proper diagnosis and guidance.2. _Try antifungal creams_: Clotrimazole, miconazole, or terbinafine might be more effective.3. _Improve hygiene_: Wash the area with soap and water, dry thoroughly, and wear breathable clothing.4. _Tea tree oil_: Mix a few drops with a carrier oil (coconut or olive) and apply to the affected area.
