WARNING!

DO NOT I repeat DO NOT use Gold Bond if you already have jock itch I used it for 2 days and I had and intense itch afterwards followed by inflammation. The worst idea ever.

Don't waste your time with Gold Bond's. You will see it dissapear very quickly and then come back right away. Gold Bond only impacts the symptoms, not the underlying cause. I've been applying ACV 2-3 times a day to my scrotum over the past 3 days and the area of infection has become very inflamed and slightly scabbing. Not sure if this is part of the process but will try it for 3-4 more days.

WARNING!

Gold Bond works great when used after applying a cream (lamisil or perscription strength). If your infection is serious do not use the powder by itself, because it won't do anything to fight the fungus and may even feed it because of the cornstach content mentioned above. There is no need for green bottle, the whole point of using it is just to maintain dryness... Don't rely on it for anything else other than keeping you dry. The extra stuff that comes in the green bottle isn't really needed to achieve this goal.

definate nay on this one, especially the blue/green bottle. Had jock itch and using this produce was like pouring sterno on the affected area (and of course washing it off just made it hurt even more) I did find that gold bond in the orange/yellow bottle while listing the same exact ingredients didn't have the inferno effect but did give some relief from the symptoms but not a cure

Gold Bond doesn't work; it is ok if just starting to get symptoms, but once you get a bad case, I too think it makes it worse. Dr. Prescribed Econazole Nitrate Creme and it cleared up real fast.

I do not recommend using any powder that contains cornstarch in it. Not knowing what I had, I used Gold Bond powder and it made the problem much worse. And then to top it all off I bought a powder that's supposed to cure jock itch and it's main ingredient is cornstarch.

P.s. rubbing alcohol...very painful!

This product does not work very well, I have seek out everything possible otc and through my doctor. This powder only helps to dry and cool the area for about 10 minutes and then it is back to the pain.
