Sweating Heavily
People who sweat heavily can be at an increased risk of developing jock itch. This is because jock itch and some other fungal infections commonly occur in warm, moist areas of the body. Sweating profusely naturally increases the amount of moisture present in certain areas.
Those who have issues with heavy sweating may want to consider using a prescription antiperspirant. Dressing appropriately for the weather and allowing sweaty areas to air out may also provide some relief.6‘Hyperhidrosis.’ Mayo Clinic, Mayo Foundation for Medical Education and Research, 18 Aug. 2020, www.mayoclinic.org/diseases-conditions/hyperhidrosis/diagnosis-treatment/drc-20367173
