Homeopathic treatment for gall bladder stone , kidney stone

जिस किसी को पत्थरी की बिमारी हो वो चूने से परहेज़ करे ( पान, खैनी गुटखा वगैरा जिसमे चूना मिला कर खाया जाता हो न लें)
पथरी होने का मुख्य कारण आपके शरीर मे अधिक मात्रा मे कैलशियम का होना है | मतलब जिनके शरीर मे पथरी हुई है उनके शरीर मे जरुरत से अधिक मात्रा मे कैलशियम है लेकिन वो शरीर मे पच नहीं रहा है वो अलग बात हे| इसलिए आप चुना खाना बंद कर दीजिए|
आयुर्वेदिक इलाज !
______________
पखानबेद नाम का एक पौधा होता है ! उसे पथरचट भी कुछ लोग बोलते है ! उसके 10 पत्तों को 1 से डेड गिलास पानी मे उबाल कर काढ़ा बना ले ! मात्र 7 से 15 दिन मे पूरी पथरी खत्म !! और कई बार तो इससे भी जल्दी खत्म हो जाती !!! आप दिन मे 3 बार पत्ते 3 पत्ते सीधे भी खा सकते हैं !
होमियोपेथी इलाज !
______________
अब होमियोपेथी मे एक दवा है ! वो आपको किसी भी होमियोपेथी के दुकान पर मिलेगी उसका नाम हे BERBERIS VULGARIS ये दवा के आगे लिखना है MOTHER TINCHER ! ये उसकी पोटेंसी हे|
वो दुकान वाला समझ जायेगा| यह दवा होमियोपेथी की दुकान से ले आइये| (स्वदेशी कंपनी SBL की बढ़िया असर करती है )
(ये BERBERIS VULGARIS दवा भी पथरचट नाम के पोधे से बनी है बस फर्क इतना है ये dilutions form मे हैं पथरचट पोधे का botanical name BERBERIS VULGARIS ही है )
अब इस दवा की 10-15 बूंदों को एक चौथाई (1/ 4) कप गुण गुने पानी मे मिलाकर दिन मे चार बार (सुबह,दोपहर,शाम और रात) लेना है | चार बार अधिक से अधिक और कमसे कम तीन बार|इसको लगातार एक से डेढ़ महीने तक लेना है कभी कभी दो महीने भी लग जाते है |
इससे जीतने भी stone है ,कही भी हो गोलब्लेडर gall bladder )मे हो या फिर किडनी मे हो,या युनिद्रा के आसपास हो,या फिर मुत्रपिंड मे हो| वो सभी स्टोन को पिगलाकर ये निकाल देता हे|
99% केस मे डेढ़ से दो महीने मे ही सब टूट कर निकाल देता हे कभी कभी हो सकता हे तीन महीने भी हो सकता हे लेना पड़े|तो आप दो महीने बाद सोनोग्राफी करवा लीजिए आपको पता चल जायेगा कितना टूट गया है कितना रह गया है | अगर रह गया हहै तो थोड़े दिन और ले लीजिए|यह दवा का साइड इफेक्ट नहीं है |
और यही दवा से पित की पथरी (gallbladder stones ) भी ठीक हो जाती है ! जिसे आधुनिक डाक्टर पित का कैंसर बोल देते हैं !
____________________
ये तो हुआ जब stone टूट के निकल गया अब दोबारा भविष्य मे यह ना बने उसके लिए क्या??? क्योंकि कई लोगो को बार बार पथरी होती है |एक बार stone टूट के निकल गया अब कभी दोबारा नहीं आना चाहिए इसके लिए क्या ???
इसके लिए एक और होमियोपेथी मे दवा है CHINA 1000|
प्रवाही स्वरुप की इस दवा के एक ही दिन सुबह-दोपहर-शाम मे दो-दो बूंद सीधे जीभ पर डाल दीजिए|सिर्फ एक ही दिन मे तीन बार ले लीजिए फिर भविष्य मे कभी भी स्टोन नहीं बनेगा|sent by anwar ahmad,delhi, homeo prac +919278869600 (whatsapp)...share with your friends please. It may help somebody.

HOW TO DESIGN A STP USING MBBR FBBR FMR TECHNOLOGY



An introduction to MBBR (moving bed biofilm reactor )/ FM Reactor/ FAB /FMR Reactor wastewater treatment

When communities of microorganisms grow on surfaces, they are called biofilms. Microorganisms in a biofilm wastewater treatment process are more resilient to process disturbances compared to other types of biological treatment processes.  Thus, biofilm wastewater treatment technologies can be considerably more robust especially when compared to conventional technologies like activated suldge process..
In the MBBR biofilm technology the biofilm grows protected within engineered plastic carriers, which are carefully designed with high internal surface area. These biofilm carriers are suspended and thoroughly mixed throughout the water phase. With this technology it is possible to handle extremely high loading conditions without any problems of clogging, and treat industrial and municipal wastewater on a relatively small footprint.

System description

The MBBR™ biofilm technology is based on specially designed plastic biofilm carriers or biocarriers that are suspended and in continuous movement within a tank or reactor of specified volume. The design of associated aerators, grids, sieves, spray nozzles and other integral parts to the reactor is also of great importance in making up the system as a whole .
The industrial and municipal wastewater is led to the MBBR™ treatment reactor where biofilm, growing within the internal structures of the biocarriers, degrade the pollutants.  These pollutants that need to be removed in order to treat the wastewater are food or substrate for growth of the biofilm.  The biocarrier design is critical due to requirements for good mass transfer of substrate and oxygen to the microorganisms  .  Excess biofilm sloughs off the biocarrier in a natural way .

An aeration grid located at the bottom of the reactor supplies oxygen to the biofilm along with the mixing energy required to keep the biocarriers suspended and completely mix within the reactor.

Treated water flows from reactor through a grid or a sieve, which retains the MBBR™ biocarriers in the reactor. Depending on the wastewater, the reactors are may be equipped with special spray nozzles that prevent excessive foam formation.

The MBBR is a biological aerobic degradation of organic pollutants. The process utilizes millions of tiny, polyethylene biofilm elements that provide a high surface area as a home for a vast, highly active bacteria culture. This fixed film process features a flexible reactor design, the ability to handle load increases without the need for extra tankage, and remains stable under large load variations, including temperature, strength or pH. Like the activated sludge process, the MBBR process utilizes the whole volume of an open tank. Unlike an activated sludge reactor, it does not require sludge return to operate effectively. In MBBR , addition of media quantity and Air Quantity is the Key Factor.

Total reactor volume of the MBBRs is designed for different hydraulic retention time for different types of waste water at average flows and than checked against peak flows. Essentially nutrient levels and DO levels are the only control points for the system.



Moving Bed Biofilm Bioreactor (MBBR) process uses the whole tank volume for biomass growth. It uses simple floating media, which are carriers for attached growth of biofilms. Biofilm carrier movement is caused by the agitation of air bubbles. This compact treatment system is effective in removal of BOD as well as nitrogen and phosphorus while facilitating effective solids separation.

Design and Construction Principles

Neutralised and settled wastewater passes through MBBR for reduction in BOD/COD. Most of the MBBR plants are provided with vertically or horizontally mounted rectangular mesh sieves or cylindrical bar sieves. Biofilm carriers are made up of high density (0.95 g/cm3) polyethelene. These are normally shaped as small cylinders with a cross inside and fins outside. The standard filling of carrier is  not more than 465 m2/m3. Generally, design load for COD-BOD removal is 20 g COD / m2d. Smaller carriers need smaller reactor volume at a given loading rate (as g/m2d) when the carrier filling is same. 

It is advisable to use MBBR in combination with a DEWATS  as a pre-treatment unit, depending on the local conditions and input characteristics. It is a very robust and compact alternative for secondary treatment of municipal wastewater, having removal efficiency for BOD 90 – 95% (low rate) and that of 75 – 80% for high rate. Average nitrogen removal is about 85%. There is no need for sludge recirculation. Phosphorus and faecal coliform reduction is feasible with additional passive (non-mechanical) or active (mechanical) system components.

A constantly operating MBBR does not require backwashing or return sludge flows. It has minimal head-loss. Coarse-bubble aeration in the aeration zone in the wastewater treatment tank provides ease of operation at low-cost. Agitation continuously moves the carrier elements over the surface of the screen thus preventing clogging. Maintenance of MBBR system includes screening, influent equalisation, clarifier system, sludge handling and integrated control system. There is no need to maintain f/M ratio as there is self-maintenance of an optimum level of productive biofilm. Skilled labour is required for routine monitoring and operations of pumps and blowers.


Calculations!:Aeration Tank Volume, HRT, MLSS Values.
I am working in a STP & ETP plant. I need to know how to calculate:

1. Volume of Aeration tank
2. HRT
3. F/M Ratio
4. MLSS value.

The relevant details of the ETP are as below:

Influent flow = 10 m3 / day
In. flow BOD = 1200 mg / L
In.flow COD = 2200 mg / L
TSS  = 850 mg / L

Dear Jayroopa

You may please refer Water & Waste Water Engineering by Metcalf & Eddy.
BOD of effluent is 1200 mg/l. It will be difficult to bring down the BOD by Activated Sludge process to desire permissible limits.

Simplified method of calculation is as below.

Process Activated sludge
Flo3, CUM 10
Type Extended aeration
Food to Microorganism ratio (F/M) 0.15
Total BOD load, Kg BOD*Flow/1000.= 12
Total mixed liquor suspended solids(MLSS) Total BOD/(F/M) = 80 kg
MLSS in Tank say mg/l 3000
Volume of tank, CUM Total MLSS/(MLSS/1000) = 26.6
Retention time, hr 24*Volume of Tank/Flow = 63.84

You can select F/M & MLSS values and optiimise the volume of a tank.
The waste water has high suspended solids therefore sedimentation is must.

Maximum efficiency of Activated sludge process is 95% therefore if you need lower value of BOD in treated effluent then you have to opt two stage process.

Dear Jeyaroopa,

Though the calculation is not that simple, I will give you a thumb rule. Multiply BOD with Quantity of effluent and divide it by 500 to get aeration tank volume. For example, for 10 cum/day with 1200 BOD, aeration tank volume shall be 10 x 1200 / 500 = 24 cum. That is 2.5 days storage nearly. But that is because the BOD is excessively high.

Before any major decision, pray Salat-ul-Istikhara

Before any major decision, pray Salat-ul-Istikhara


What is Salat ul Istikhara?

Source: Fiqh-us-Sunnah, volume 2, number 32 and volume 4, number 141.
Often, we have to make major life-changing decisions: whether to undertake a major project or not, whether to apply for a promotion or not, whether to change career or not, whether to invest in a certain company or not, whether to get married or not, whom to get married to, etc.
Istikhara (Arabic) means to ask Allah to guide one to the right thing concerning any affair in one’s life, especially when one has to choose between two permissible alternatives, e.g. a career choice, getting married, etc.  Similarly, a traveller should consult good righteous persons before setting out on a journey, because Allah says, “And consult them (O Prophet) in affairs (of moment),” (Qur’an, 3: 159) and one of the characteristics of the believers is that “they (conduct) their affairs by mutual consultation” (Qur’an, 42: 38). Qatadah said, “Every people who seek the pleasure of Allah and consult with one another are guided to the best course in their affairs.” The traveller should also make istikharah and seek guidance from Allah.
Sa’ d ibn Waqas reported that the Prophet, peace be upon him, said, “Istikharah (seeking guidance from Allah) is one of the distinct favors (of Allah) upon man, and a good fortune for the son of Adam is to be pleased with the judgment of Allah. And a misfortune of the son of Adam is his failure to make istikharah (seeking Allah’s guidance), and a misfortune for the son of Adam is his displeasure with the judgment of Allah.” Ibn Taimiyyah said, “He who seeks guidance from the Creator and consults the creatures will never regret it.”

How does one pray Salat ul Istikhara?

Salatul Istikharah is a sunnah of the Prophet (s).   It is a prayer that one may pray if one must choose between permissible alternatives: it is two non-obligatory rak’at (that can be recited separately or in combination with the regular sunnah prayers or the prayer for entering the mosque […] during any time of the day or night, and to recite therein whatever one wishes of the Qur’an after reciting al-Fatihah. After the two-rak’ats, one praises Allah and sends salutations to the Prophet sallallahu alehi wasallam and recites the following supplication which has been recorded by al-Bukhari in Jabir’s hadith (see full text below): “The Prophet sallallahu alehi wasallam would teach us al-istikhara for all of our affairs as he would teach us a surah from the Qur’an. He said: ‘If one of you is deliberating over an act, he should pray two non-obligatory rak’at and say:O Allah, I consult You as You are All-Knowing and I appeal to You to give me power as You are Omnipotent, I ask You for Your great favor, for You have power and I do not, and You know all of the hidden matters . O Allah ! If you know that this matter (then the person reciting the du’a should mention the matter for which he is seeking Allah’s Guidance) is good for me in my religion, my livelihood, and for my life in the Hereafter, (or he said: ‘for my present and future life,’) then make it (easy) for me. And if you know that this matter is not good for me in my religion, my livelihood and my life in the Hereafter, (or he said: ‘for my present and future life,’) then keep it away from me and take me away from it and choose what is good for me wherever it is and please me with it.”
The following hadith (referred above in Fiqh-us-Sunnah) is narrated by Jabir bin Abdullah about Salat-ul-Istikhara in Sahih Bukhari (volume 2, hadith number 263 and again volume 9, hadith 487):
The Prophet (peace be upon him) used to teach us the way of doing Istikhara (Istikhara means to ask Allah to guide one to the right sort of action concerning any job or a deed), in all matters as he taught us the Suras of the Quran. He said, “If anyone of you thinks of doing any job he should offer a two Rakat prayer other than the compulsory ones and say (after the prayer)‘Allahumma inni astakhiruka bi’ilmika, Wa astaqdiruka bi-qudratika, Wa asaluka min fadlika al-‘azim Fa-innaka taqdiru Wala aqdiru, Wa ta’lamu Wala a’lamu, Wa anta ‘allamu l-ghuyub. Allahumma, in kunta ta’lam anna hadha-l-amra (then the person reciting the du’a should mention the matter for which he is seeking Allah’s Guidance)   Khairun li fi dini wa ma’ashi wa’aqibati amri (or ‘ajili amri wa’ajilihi) Faqdirhu li wa yas-sirhu li thumma barik li Fihi, Wa in kunta ta’lamu anna hadha-lamra shar-run li fi dini wa ma’ashi wa’aqibati amri (or fi’ajili amri wa ajilihi) Fasrifhu anni was-rifni anhu. Waqdir li al-khaira haithu kana Thumma ardini bihi.
Istikhara3
Note from Rafik BeekunI have included the french, german and spanish translations of the above dua at the end of this post.
Similar hadiths were reported by Jabir (r) in Sahih Bukhari (volume 8, hadith number 391).
Note from Rafik Beekun: If you have trouble with the arabic version of the dua for Istikhara, here is a dua video where the dua is being recited in arabic.  Both the arabic version of the du’a, its english transliteration, and translation are included. Please use it to practice reciting the dua correctly before praying Salat Istihara:

Salat ul Istikhara: Prayer for consultation

Memorizer for the du’a for Salat ul Istikhara

If you cannot view the above video clip, please click here to hear the MP3 version of it.
To summarize,  here is how you pray Salat-ul-Istikhara step-by step:
  • Perform Wudu (the ablution) if you do not have it already.
  • Pray 2 raka’at either with the intention of praying Istikhara separately by itself  or jointly with  two non-obligatory rak’at (e.g. the regular sunnah prayers or the prayer for entering the mosque, or tahajjud.) Please make sure that you are not praying during the three times when it is undesirable to pray [The Prophet (s) said:   “There is no prayer after the Fajr until the sun (sufficiently) rises; and there is no prayer after the ‘Asr until the sun completely sets.” [Muslim, 1041, agreed upon].  Again, in another hadith reported in Muslim 1040, it is narrated: “ Three were the times at while Allah’s Messenger ( ) forbade us from praying or burying our dead (ie. funeral prayer): when the sun begins to rise until it is fully up; when the sun is at its height until it passes the meridian; and when the sun begins to set until it is completely set. [Muslim, 1040]”  Please note if istikhaarah is done for something that is immediate and cannot be delayed, then this prayer may be performed at a time when prayer is not allowed, such as if a person wants to travel after ‘Asr prayer. But if the matter is not immediate and the prayer can be delayed until after the time (see fatwah below)
  • Immediately after you have completed the 2 rakats, recite the abovementioned Istikhara Dua highlighted in yellow and mention the matter for which you are seeking Allah’s Guidance you have at the appropriate point in the du’a (indicated in red in the du’a above and also indicated in the video clips above).
  • Follow An Nawawi’s advice on how to interpret Allah’s guidance (please see section below).

What happens after one prays Salat ul Istikhara?
An-Nawawi holds that “after performing the istikharah, a person must do what he is wholeheartedly inclined to do and feels good about doing and should not insist on doing what he had desired to do before making the istikharah. And if his feelings change, he should leave what he had intended to do, otherwise he is not completely leaving the choice to Allah, and would not be honest in seeking aid from Allah’s power and knowledge. Sincerity in seeking Allah’s choice, means that one should completely leave what he himself had desired or determined.” [Note from Br. Rafik Beekun: Please view the video on “Istikhara and Marriage” at the bottom of this web page where the Sheikh elaborates on the different ways in which your prayer will be answered, Insha Allah}
It is not necessary that you get a dream or even a “feeling.” Rather, the istikhara is a prayer that Allah guide you towards that which is best (khayr) for you. If you do the prayer of guidance (istikhara) with the proper manners, the most important of which is to truly consign the matter to Allah and suspend your own inclinations, then Allah will make events unfold in the direction that is the best for your worldly and next-worldly affairs.
Please remember that the core of being a Muslim is to put your absolute trust in Allah.  Accordingly, once you perform the prayer of Istikharak, you need to follow the guidance of Allah whether it means pursuing or abandoning the intended undertaking. Allah also says:
And He provides for him from (sources) he never could imagine. And if any one puts his trust in Allah, sufficient is ((Allah)) for him. For Allah will surely accomplish his purpose: verily, for all things has Allah appointed a due proportion.” (Qur’an 65:3)

How many times can one pray Salat ul Istikhara?

As stated above, there is no limit on the number of times you can pray Salat ul Istikhara . though the fuqaha mention that it is recommend to repeat it, up to 7 times if necessary (usually done on separate occasions). [cf: Radd al-Muhtar]

Fungal Groin Infection (Tinea Cruris) Jock itch treatment by terbinafine, clotrimazole, econazole,ketoconazole miconazole



Fungal Groin Infection (Tinea Cruris) Jock itch
http://www.stylecraze.com/articles/effective-home-remedies-for-treating-and-relieving-jock-itch/
Jock itch is caused by fungi called dermatophytes. These microscopic organisms are normal inhabitants of your skin, and stay in check as long as your skin is clean and dry. People taking broad-spectrum antibiotics, with weakened immune systems, or who have diabetes are more at risk to develop the rash.
Jock itch (tinea cruris) is a pretty common fungal infection of the groin and upper thighs.
Jock itch is also sometimes called crack fungus, crotch itch, bag rot or crotch rot, dhobi itch (after Indian washermen).
It is a common fungal infection that affects the skin of your inner thighs, buttocks and genitals.
Men and women encounter the disease worldwide, although it is seen more often in the humid tropics.
The rash may affect only your groin, but it may spread to include your inner thighs, genitals, and areas around your anus, rectum, or Lesions caused by jock itch can extend from the crease between the inner thigh and pelvis, over the adjacent upper inner thigh, and into the anal area.
Jock itch occurs almost exclusively in adult men.
 The medical name for all of these types of fungal infections is a tinea infection, and the medical name for jock itch is tinea cruris (pronounced: tih -nee-uh krur -us).
Treatment of Jock itch
Jock itch is treated with one of two types of antifungal medications - azoles or allylamines.
For a mild case of jock itch, your doctor may suggest first using an over-the-counter antifungal ointment, lotion, powder or spray.
Keep the skin clean and dry.
There are various types and brands - for example, terbinafine, clotrimazole (ITCH GAURDD), econazole,ketoconazole and miconazole. (BETNOVATE-GM).These modern creams are good at clearing fungal skin infections.
·         Apply the cream to the surrounding 4-6 cm of normal skin in addition to the rash.
·         Apply for as long as advised
They are available as powders or ointments and can be applied to the affected area any number of times in the day.
Apply topical over-the-counter antifungal or drying powders, such as those that contain miconazole, clotrimazole, or tolnaftate.(CANDID POWDER)
Wash and then dry the area using a clean towel.
Tolnaftate (Tinactin, Aftate) and undecylenate (Cruex, Desenex) are well-known, effective medications.
Haloprogin (Halotex) -- Agent for use in the treatment of tinea cruris.

Coconut Oil:

Application of coconut oil (as pure as you can find) on the area affected by the rash will give you lasting relief. Coconut has natural properties that soothe the rash and also block moisture from reaching it. It also makes the skin smooth and less susceptible to jock itch in the future.

 Listerine:

Who on earth thought of applying Listerine to that part of the body! Antiseptic and antifungal properties of Listerine will give immediate relief from itching. Yes, this is another good jock itch home remedy. The alcohol in Listerine might make it sting a little initially, but you will swear by it when you feel that immense relief.

VICKS VAPORUB:


NEEM OIL:

Homeopathic Medicines for skin rashes
Sulphur, I find, is ideal for redness and rashes that aggravate at night.Homeopathic medicine  Medoohinum is suited for treating the fiery red rash around the anus in babies. Lithium Carb works best in case of a rough rash all over the body and tough, dry, itchy skin.  Caladium is to be given to patients of an itching rash that alternates with asthma. I feel Belladona is very helpful in case of eruptions like scarlatina which spread suddenly. Astacus Fluv is great homeopathic remedy for a rash and itching all over the body.

Jock Itch  Author: Dr. Nili N. Alai, M.D., FAAD
 What is jock itch?
Jock itch is a very common, itchy rash of the groin. It can be a very intense itch with or without a visible red or pink rash in the groin folds and genitals.  Although jock itch is primarily a skin condition in men, female jock itch is much less common.

In general, jock itch tends to be a mild condition that occurs at least once at some point in most people’s lives. The symptoms may intermittently come and go and many cases of jock itch resolve spontaneously without any treatment. Jock itch is primarily seen in the groin, although it may spread to the inner thighs, genitals (including penis, scrotum, labia and vaginal opening), and anus.
While jock itch is frequently noted in otherwise healthy patients, it is more common in diabetes and/or obesity. Possible causes of this common groin itch include irritation from tight or abrasive underwear, excess moisture, sweating, skin rubbing or friction, allergic problems, fungal infection, Candida (yeast) infection, and bacterial overgrowth or skin infection. It is important to keep in mind that not all cases of jock itch are caused by fungus.
Treatment of fungal related jock itch may typically include one or a combination of antifungal shampoos to wash the groin, antifungal creams, and rarely antifungal pills. Treatment of jock itch that is not caused by fungus involves proper groin hygiene, keeping the area clean and dry, and washing frequently with gentle soap and water (especially after sweating or exercise).

What are symptoms of jock itch?
Jock itch usually begins with mild intermittent itching in the groin. The itching can get worse and become unbearable in some cases. The rash is usually on both sides of the groin and affects the folds primarily.
The rash may become dry, rough, and bumpy, develop pus bumps, or begin to ooze. Sometimes, the upper most skin clears as the rash spreads further down onto the thighs.
The itching and rash can spread to the genitals including the labia, vagina, scrotum, penis, and anus.
Women may also develop vaginal white discharge and yeast infections. Men may develop balanitis and other infections on the head of the penis, especially if they are not circumcised.

Severe cases may be very uncomfortable and develop secondary complications like breaks in the skin, open sores, ulcers, and rarely cellulitis.

Who gets jock itch?
Jock itch is most common in adult and middle aged men. Anyone can get jock itch and it is estimated to affect nearly all people at some point in their lives.
Certain groups of people may be more prone to jock itch. Patients with diabetes, obesity, and those with a compromised immune system like in HIV/AIDS, hepatitis, chronic illnesses, cancer, systemic chemotherapy, immunosuppressive drugs like prednisone, and those on biologic immune system modifying drugs like Remicade or Enbrel may be more prone to jock itch.
Risk factors include
  • Heat
  • Moisture
  • Humidity
  • Obesity
  • Excess Sweating
  • Exercise
  • Weakened immune system
  • Tight, occlusive fabrics and undergarments
  • Athlete’s foot infection or other “ringworm” on the body

What is the prognosis with jock itch?
The prognosis with jock itch is very good. Overall, jock itch tends to be an easily treated and curable skin condition.  Commonly, it is a mild, benign, usually non-contagious, and self-limited skin condition. More widespread, atypical cases of jock itch may be embarrassing, chronically disfiguring, and psychologically distressing for the patient.

Does jock itch affect the entire body?
Jock itch does not affect the entire body. It is usually limited to the groin, inner thigh folds, genitals, and anal area. Itching of the entire body is called pruritus and is generally unrelated to jock itch.

What does jock itch look like?
Photos of jock itch patients typically show a symmetrical red or pink rash on the sides of the groin folds. There may be a dry, scaly rash or a collection of small, pinpoint red or pink bumps at each hair follicle.  Sometimes, there may be no rash at all.

How is jock itch diagnosed?
The diagnosis of jock itch is typically very straightforward and based on the symptoms and skin appearance.
In some cases, a small skin biopsy may be used to help the doctor confirm the diagnosis. Other times, a skin swab or culture may be taken and sent to the lab to determine an infectious cause of the jock itch. A few other medical conditions may look just like jock itch and need to be examined more closely by a physician specializing in conditions of the skin called a dermatologist.

What else could jock itch look like?
Other medical conditions can mimic jock itch. Some possible look-alike skin conditions include:
  • “Ringworm” also called Tinea cruris
  • eczema
  • intertrigo
  • erythrasma
  • impetigo
  • atopic dermatitis
  • irritant or contact dermatitis
  • heat rash
  • dry skin (xerosis)
  • inverse psoriasis

What causes jock itch?
Jock itch is a basic problem with inflammation of the skin in the groin. This inflammation may be caused by simple irritation, infections like bacteria and yeasts, or other non-infectious skin conditions.
  • Moisture, warmth, and skin friction in the groin folds
  • Tight, occlusive clothing and undergarments that trap in sweat
  • Contact with fungus and yeasts
  • Contact with bacteria

Different skin infections may include:
  • Candida albicans ( yeast)
  •  Trichophyton  (fungus)
  • Epidermophyton floccosum (fungus)

Is jock itch caused by athlete’s foot?
Jock itch may be caused by athlete’s foot, also called tinea pedis. The same fungus that causes athlete’s foot in a person may actually spread over to the groin in some cases. It is important to always check the feet for rashes in persons with jock itch. Spread of the fungus usually occurs when fungal particles pass onto the crotch of the pants while actually getting dressed. Any concurrent foot infection must be treated in order to avoid recurrence of the jock itch.

Is jock itch curable?
Most cases of jock itch are easily and fully curable. There are very uncommon, long-standing cases of jock itch that may not be curable. Often these more resistant cases may be controlled with proper treatment and medication.  Jock itch sometimes clears completely by itself without treatment.

Is jock itch contagious?
Although most cases of jock itch are not contagious, cases caused by an infection may be transmitted through skin or sexual contact, sharing of swimwear, or towels. It is possible to give fungal cases of jock itch to someone else through close skin contact.
Some people are simply more prone to developing jock itch because of their overall health, activity, anatomy, possible altered immune status, exposure history, and other predisposing skin conditions like eczema. Patients with athlete’s foot (tinea pedis) are more prone to developing jock itch.

What are possible complications of jock itch?
Complications are infrequent since jock itch is usually a self-limited skin condition. Rarely, the rash may spread past the groin onto the thighs and genitals. Secondary skin infections from scratching or rubbing may uncommonly deepen causing cellulitis or abscess formation.
Another potential complication includes temporary skin discoloration called post-inflammatory hypopigmentation (lighter than the regular skin color) or hyperpigmentation (darker then the regular skin color). This altered skin color may occur after the rash has improved or after a temporary flare. Permanent scarring is uncommon.

Are there any lab tests to help diagnose jock itch?
Usually, no specific laboratory tests are needed in the diagnosis of common jock itch.
Imaging studies like x-rays or CT scans are not useful.
A bacterial culture may be useful to check for bacteria like staphylococcus on the skin.
Microscopic skin tests and fungal tests using potassium hydroxide may help to determine if the jock itch is caused by yeast or a fungus.
Skin biopsy (surgically taking a small piece of skin using local numbing medicine) with histopathological (exam of tissue under the microscope) evaluation may be useful in atypical or widespread cases. Sometimes skin biopsies help to exclude other possible diagnosis.

Does diet have anything to do with jock itch?
Overall, diet does not seem to affect jock itch.

How do I treat jock itch?
There are many treatment options and skin care recipes for treating jock itch. Since the two primary causes of jock itch are excess moisture and fungal infections,
PHOTO OF:Scabies can cause Groin Itch
the specific treatment depends on the exact cause of the jock itch. Treatment of jock itch associated with skin irritation and excess moisture should address general measures to keep the groin clean and dry. Treatment of fungal jock itch should include antifungal creams used continuously for 2-4 weeks.
It is important to keep in mind that as with any condition, no therapy is uniformly effective in all people. Your doctor may need to help evaluate the cause of your jock itch.

What home remedy can I use for jock itch?
Home remedy for mild jock itch includes:
  • Wash the groin skin 2-3 times a day with a gentle soap-less cleanser  like Dove non-soap cleanser or Cetaphil and water
  • Keep the groin area dry. ( A great tip is to spray a deodernat spray along the groin folds and under the scrotum)
  • Avoid excess groin skin irritation by wearing 100% cotton underwear
  • Avoid fabric softeners, bleaches, or harsh laundry detergents
  • Use  a mix of over-the-counter hydrocortisone cream  and clotrimazole cream 1-2 times a day to the affected area

What holistic jock itch treatments are available?
Holistic (non-medicated) home remedy options for jock itch include:
  • Soak the affected area with a washcloth dipped in dilute white vinegar (1 part vinegar to 4 parts of water) and dry the skin daily
or
  • Soak in a bathtub with very dilute Clorox bleach (1 quarter cup of Clorox bleach in a bathtub full of water) and dry the skin daily or every other day

How do I treat fungal jock itch?
Mild fungal or yeast jock itch may be treated by:
  • Washing groin twice daily with an antifungal shampoo like ketoconazole (Nizoral Shampoo) or selenium sulfide (Selsun Blue Shampoo)
Moderate fungal or yeast jock itch is often treated by a combination of:
  • Washing groin twice daily with an antifungal shampoo like ketoconazole (Nizoral Shampoo) or selenium sulfide (Selsun Blue Shampoo)
  • Topical antifungal cream like miconazole (Monistat, Micatin), clotrimazole (Lotrimin, Mycelex) or terbinafine (Lamisil)
Severe fungal or yeast jock itch is typically treated by a combination of:
  •  Washing groin twice daily with an antifungal shampoo like ketoconazole (Nizoral Shampoo) or selenium sulfide (Selsun Blue Shampoo)
  • Topical antifungal cream like miconazole (Monistat, Micatin), clotrimazole (Lotrimin, Mycelex) or terbinafine (Lamisil)
  • Antifungal pill like fluconazole (Diflucan), itraconazole (Sporanox), or terbinafine (Lamisil)

How do I treat bacterial jock itch?
Mild bacterial jock itch may be treated with:
  • antibacterial skin washes like Lever 2000 soap or chlorhexidine (Hibiclens) soap twice daily
  • Spray deoderant spray under groin fold area ( do not use deodernat stick because can cross contaminate and infect)
Moderate bacterial jock itch may be treated with:
  • antibacterial skin washes like chlorhexidine (Hibiclens) soap twice daily
  •  twice-daily application of a topical antibiotic like clindamycin lotion or metronidazole lotion
Severe bacterial jock itch may be treated with:
  • antibacterial skin washes like chlorhexidine (Hibiclens) soap twice daily
  •  twice-daily application of a topical antibiotic like clindamycin lotion or metronidazole lotion
  • 5 to 14 day course of an oral antibiotic like cephalexin, dicloxacillin, doxycyline, minocycline, tetracycline, ciprofloxacin, or levofloxacin for more resistant cases.

How do I treat itching from jock itch?
Inflammatory jock itch may be treated with a short course of one of the following:
  • Use a short 5-7day course of a mild to medium potency, topical steroid cream like prescription triamcinolone 0.025% once or twice a day for inflamed or itchy areas.
  • Use a short 5-7day course of a mild, over-the-counter topical steroid cream like hydrocortisone (Cortaid) 1-3 times a day for itching
  • Use a topical immunomodulator like  pimecrolimus (Elidel) cream or tacrolimus (Protopic) ointment twice a day. Although these creams are approved for atopic dermatitis and eczema, their use would be considered “off label” (non-FDA labeled use) for jock itch.

Why is my groin still discolored?
PHOTO OF:Fungus can cause Jock Itch
Residual skin discoloration in the groin may persist for weeks to months after more severe forms of jock itch clear. This discoloration is called hyperpigmentation and may be treated with one or a combination of:
  • hydroquinone 4% cream
  • kojic acid cream
  • azelaic acid 15% cream
  • over the counter fading cream with 2% hydroquinone (Porcelana)
  • specially designed prescription creams for particularly resistant skin discoloration using higher concentrations of hydroquinone 6%, 8%, and 10% may also be formulated by prescription by compounding pharmacists.

What is the best drug for jock itch?
Overall, the best jock itch drug is a topical antifungal cream like miconazole (Monistat, Micatin), clotrimazole (Lotrimin, Mycelex) or terbinafine (Lamisil). If the jock itch does not improve within 2-3 weeks of treatment, then a physician should be consulted.

When should I call my doctor?
If your jock itch persists over 1-2 weeks despite proper skin care and use of over-the-counter medications, you may need to schedule an appointment to see your physician. In addition, if your rash is worsening despite medical treatment or if you develop sings of an advancing skin infection, you should contact your physician.

  • Spreading despite treatment
  • Increasing pain
  • Rapidly spreading rash
  • Formation of pus, abscesses, or draining sores
  • Red streak(s) extending from the groin (called lymphangitis)
  • Fever or chills
  • Failing to improve after 2 weeks of continuous topical treatment
How do I prevent jock itch?
Jock Itch prevention efforts include good general skin hygiene and keeping your groin clean and dry.
  • Wash groin and buttocks with soap and water off after exercise and sweating
  • Wash workout clothes, underwear, and swimwear after each use
  • Minimize groin moisture by using white cotton underwear
