4. Skin peeling
For most people with Jock Itch, they’ll either experience skin flaking or skin peeling. Very rarely do the two occur simultaneously or even one after the other.
It comes down to the type of skin you have and how much moisture is in your body and beneath your skin. Some people would much rather their skin became a little flaky, as then at least they seem to lose less skin at a time, whereas others say they’d rather it all just peeled off inconvenient slices. It’s a case of the grass always being greener on the other side though in truth, as neither of these symptoms is a particularly fun thing to experience.
With the peeling of the skin, it can sometimes take a bit of encouragement to help it on its way, but you have to be careful. Peeling skin off the body that is not ready to be peeled can result in soreness and even bleeding, as the new skin beneath isn’t quite ready to make an appearance yet.
