Position both feet flat on the floor if seated and press your buttocks into the chair while you scoot forward. This tightens clothing in the groin area and provides momentary relief of jock itch.

Place one hand on your thigh and casually rest your chin on your other hand while seated at a table. With the hand resting on your thigh, subtly inch the thumb towards your groin. Relieve jock itch by rubbing your thumb over the infected area. An occasional light pinch of the irritated skin can bring deeper relief.
