Wellness Wednesday for November 9, 2022

The Wednesday Wellness threads are meant to encourage users to ask for and provide advice and motivation to improve their lives. It isn't intended as a 'containment thread' and any content which could go here could instead be posted in its own thread. You could post:

  • Requests for advice and / or encouragement. On basically any topic and for any scale of problem.

  • Updates to let us know how you are doing. This provides valuable feedback on past advice / encouragement and will hopefully make people feel a little more motivated to follow through. If you want to be reminded to post your update, see the post titled 'update reminders', below.

  • Advice. This can be in response to a request for advice or just something that you think could be generally useful for many people here.

  • Encouragement. Probably best directed at specific users, but if you feel like just encouraging people in general I don't think anyone is going to object. I don't think I really need to say this, but just to be clear; encouragement should have a generally positive tone and not shame people (if people feel that shame might be an effective tool for motivating people, please discuss this so we can form a group consensus on how to use it rather than just trying it).

Any tips for dealing with persistent jock itch? Asking for a friend...

Well let me tell you what worked for my friend:

-- Cleanliness. My friend was working at a gym and tended to work out (sweat) heavily in the AM, work a 12 hour shift including sporadic physical labor and exercise without showering, and that's when it crept in. Shower and change undergarments regularly.

-- Baby powder. Powder your junk to keep dry.

-- Anti fungal creams work, but have to be applied multiple times per day. He ultimately got a prescription and that cleared it up, but I think that was only moderately stronger than the ordinary products at a CVS.

Baby powder. Powder your junk your friend's junk to keep dry.

Fixed an important oversight in your post.
