I'm struggling with a pretty uncomfortable jock itch, and I'm not sure which anti-fungal cream would be better for meLulifin or Quadriderm? Also, are there any other medications or treatments that you'd recommend for this type of issue? I've tried over-the-counter stuff, but it doesn't seem to be helping much.
