3. Skin flaking
It’s a pretty nasty thing to observe, but compared to the peeling which some people experience, a little flakiness isn’t all that bad. Much like the itty bitty dandruff we sometimes see falling from our scalps, the skin of a Jock Itch affected area can begin to flake off like parmesan over pasta.
You’ll probably never want to eat parmesan again after that analogy, but it’s a fairly accurate one in terms of appearance and texture. Picking at the skin usually makes the skin flaking worse, and it can be pretty embarrassing when getting changed in the locker room, especially if upon removing an item of clothing, the floor is showered in confetti-like pieces of old, flaky skin.
Using a moisturizer every now and then to keep the area supple and smooth could help, but remember the importance of keeping a Jock Itch area nice and dry, wherever possible.
