Bleach, Diluted for Jock Itch

Run Forest (Melbourne) on 11/10/2026:

They use chlorine in swimming pools for the same reason, it's just very diluted because people are swimming in it for an hour.

You must dilute household chlorine bleach to avoid the risk of chemical burn. I did about 5 parts water to 1 part household chlorine bleach, applied for 20 sec and then rinsed off. It felt slightly slippery to the fingers.

Just splash it, spray it on, however you like before a shower. Once it's diluted it's not dangerous to the skin for a short contact time.

I did that every day for two weeks, then once a week for maintenance.

Up to then nothing had worked for long. With this method it entirely resolved quickly and has stayed away for a period of 3 months of no maintenance at all.

Side note: Also worked for a minor balanitis situation that nothing else was working for. Follow up care with pure cocoa butter in that situation.
