Sign 2

It sits right in the crease. It doesn't spread out.

Look at exactly where it sits. Jock itch likes to spread. It creeps out across the inner thigh with an edge that keeps moving.

A fold rash stays in the crease. It follows the line like somebody drew it on with a red marker. It shows up where skin sits on skin:

Where your leg meets your body. The crease under your gut, where it hangs over your belt. The fold under your chest. In those spots the skin never gets air, so it never dries.

Doctors call it intertrigo. Most men have never heard the word. They call it jock itch, because that's the only name they know.

Sign 3

It smells, even right after a shower.

You shower. You scrub. You put on clean shorts. By lunch, you can smell it again.

That smell is yeast. It moves into the warm, wet crease and feeds on your sweat. That's what you're smelling. It's sour and musty, like a wet towel left in a gym bag.

Soap can't wash it off, because it's down in the crease where a washcloth barely reaches. Body spray just puts a stronger smell on top of it.

If it smells again by lunch, you're not dirty. The fold just never dries out.

Sign 4

Small red dots just outside the main patch.

Look close at the edges. Jock itch usually makes a ring. The edge is raised and scaly, and the middle often looks lighter.

A fold rash looks different. It's one solid red patch in the crease. Just outside it, there are small red dots, like somebody flicked red paint off a brush.

Those dots are yeast spreading out from the main patch. Doctors call them satellites. They're one of the clearest signs this is yeast in a fold, not jock itch.

Sign 5

It's wet and shiny, it cracks, and it burns more than it itches.

Jock itch is mostly an itch. The skin is usually dry and flaky.

A fold rash is raw. The skin looks wet or shiny. It can split right in the bottom of the crease. It burns when you walk, when you sit, when your shorts rub it.

Skin that stays wet all day gets soft. Then it rubs on itself with every step until it tears, and the yeast gets right in.

Maybe you walk different now because of it. Maybe you get up out of your chair slow. If so, it's way past an itch.

Why It Comes Back

Why the spray clears it up
and then it comes right back

Moisture

Friction

Yeast

A fold rash is three problems at once, in the same inch of skin:

Look at the label. The medicine in jock itch spray is the same medicine they sell for athlete's foot. It was made for a foot, out in the air, where it can dry. It kills the fungus and leaves the fold wet.

So the fungus dies, but the crease stays wet and keeps rubbing, and the yeast grows right back. It won't stop until you fix all three at once.

The Fix

Made for where skin rubs on skin

Healora Intertrigo Relief Cream goes on like a cream and dries down like a powder. It does all three jobs in one step, and the formula is adjusted for men.

• 1. It kills the yeast

  (goes on as a cream)

  

  10% undecylenic acid kills the yeast and fungus in the fold. Tea tree helps knock out the smell. Most men feel no sting, even on raw skin.

  

• 2. It dries the sweat

  (dries down like a powder)

  

  Witch hazel pulls the wet out of the skin. Silica and tapioca soak up sweat as you go, so it never turns to paste the way Gold Bond does.

  

• 3. It stops the rubbing

  (keeps the fold dry)

  

  15% zinc oxide puts a dry layer between the two sides of the fold, so skin stops rubbing on skin. The crease finally gets a chance to heal.

  

In Healora's customer survey, 96% said their rash healed within 24 hours. Half of them said it healed overnight. Use it twice a day. No steroids. Made in the USA in an FDA-registered facility.

The spray only does the first job. Healora does all three.
