i found out that every soap im using is causing the burning aka jock itch around my groin even the non soap cleaners, so is their something i can use to keep my groin clean without soap?
My husband tried this in the hospital after surgery and loves it---soothing, aloe, can just spray, not wash off. If the link doesn't work, look on Amazon for perineal cleansers:
Often soap residue left on the area because it isn't rinsed well after use may cause irritation or may aggrevate a rash that's already there. If this is the case, it can help a lot to make sure the area is rinsed well with plenty of water, and well dried.

Good info.
OTOH- it may be true jock itch-- a fungal problem. Lotrimin cream is OTC and the treatment of choice.
Instead of soap, one may use any kind of oil- olive oil, cooking oil, etc and just towel it off. The "active" part of soap is fat (glycerin + three fatty acids)-- it dissolves the body oils we're trying to clean off. That's how the Romans did it at their famous Baths.
Like others mentioned, jock itch is a fungal problem. Go see your doctor. He may prescribe an ointment which is a mixture of a prescription strength "lotramin" mixed with hydrocortisone. At least, that is what I got for my athlete's foot.

I was going to say, I doubt it's the soap. Probably the groin. Have you seen a Dr., OP?
