I was wondering if Jock Itch is still contagious after starting the anti fungal creams...?

Well, it could come back easily once its cleared up. You need to keep the area as dry and clean as possible to prevent another outbreak.

I would say [b}yes[/b], Hotangel. While you're applying the cream, the fungus is still there.

Hi! I can answer that. As a woman who dated a man with persistant jock itch for almost two years. This man used creams adn even took Flagyl an antibiotic a few times. EVERY time we had unprotected sex, I would get a nasty bacterial infection. Every time it required me to go the the Dr and get on Flagyl. It was the most discusting thing I have ever had to deal with. I dont know if I helped, but yes you can give it to your partner and it turns up as BV.
