If you have jock itch, it is important to take steps to prevent the infection from spreading and to promote healing. This may include throwing away or disinfecting any items that may have come into contact with the infected area, such as straps, underwear, and towels.

Straps

Jock itch is a fungal infection that can be spread through direct contact with an infected person or by contact with contaminated objects. If you have jock itch, it is important to avoid sharing towels, clothing, and other personal items with others to prevent the infection from spreading. You should also wash your hands thoroughly after touching the infected area.

If you have worn straps that may have come into contact with the infected area, it is a good idea to throw them away or disinfect them to prevent reinfection. You can disinfect straps by soaking them in a solution of one part bleach to 10 parts water for at least 10 minutes.

Underwear

Jockey briefs can harbor fungus and bacteria that can cause jock itch and other infections. If you have jock itch, it is important to change your underwear frequently and wash them in hot water with detergent. You should also avoid wearing tight-fitting underwear, as this can create a warm, moist environment that is ideal for fungal growth.

If you have any questions or concerns about jock itch, it is important to talk to your doctor.
