I got itchy balls and leg and it smells like pussy puss it keeps felling damp down there. Should I use monistat cream or jock itch powder. Monistat cream wet so I afraid it make worse. I use poison ivy cream but burns like hell so can't use for more than a few minutes. Originally Posted by RipmanyNormal crotch rot. Keep it dry, plenty of airflow, and use powder to absorb moisture.
