3. Friction from wearing tight clothes
Tightly fitting clothes can trigger Jock Itch in record-breaking time. If you’re keeping everything in check with a tight-fitting bathing suit or with a pair of yoga pants, especially for longer periods of time, the excessive friction between skin and clothing can cause a fire to start on your skin. Not a fire in the literal sense, like that, would be far more alarming than a case of Jock Itch, but a fire in the sense of the absolute prime conditions for Jock Itch to take hold.
If wearing tight-fitting clothes is made necessary by the activity of your choosing, make sure you allow the body time to breathe later on, once it has been cleaned. You don’t need to be naked to do this, fortunately, as baggy or loose-fitting clothing will more than suffice. Sure, tight-fitting clothes can make you feel good and even help you perform better, but they’re pretty great for triggering Jock Itch too.
