For about six months I have had jock itch so I decided to take matters into my own hands.
it looks about like this for those who don't know
+ Show Spoiler +
It FUCKING ITCHES!
So... after rubbing my skin raw over the past few days it began to scab over because I was scratching too much.
I found something called Soothenol X2 in the medicine cabinet.
Being the idiot I am I applied it all over the affected areas (ass included).
So... After about thirty seconds it started to FUCKING BURN!
this shit is painful. I can't imagine a time I have been in more pain.
Looking at the bottle again it says "WARNING: Do not use on wounds or damaged skin".
That area is a HUGE patch of damaged skin in addition to the wound I have given myself by scratching this thing.
I am sitting here with an ice pack hoping that the fucking fungus will die now.
Anyone have any advise on how to get rid of this shit?

Erm, I'd say wash the stuff off in the shower, but no idea how well it'll come off. But if that jock itch is as bad as you describe, you should srsly see a doctor.

Hydrogen Peroxide, or Isopropyl Alcohol, or Iodine. Put some on a cloth/toilet paper/2x2, and dab it on. Then see a doctor.

I have already tried the iodine and it doesn't do anything.

instead of fucking yourself over by not doing anything, why dont yo get some over the counter jock itch/athletes foot medicine?
get some powder and spray and go crazy on those areas.
There are many brands you acn use such as Lamisil, Tinactin, Lotrimin.

I can't exactly drive yet... I am almost to the point of getting my parents to buy some stuff for athletes foot though.
On a plus side the burning has gone away now.

dont put alcohol or peroxide on it. it will make it WORSE. only certain types of gold bond work.
while waiting for antifungal medication, you should wash yourself with cold water. the cold sensation will block off itchiness. let it get LOTS of fresh air.
i recommend using a fan to blow on it to keep it dry and keep the itch away. keep it COOL.

Damn dude. That's gotta hurt a bunch. Go to a doctor, ASAP.

from wiki:
Tinea cruris is often treated with antifungal drugs applied topically. Traditionally creams containing tolnaftate, terbinafine, econazole nitrate, clotrimazole or miconazole have been used, although newer agents such as butenafine are also used. These anti-fungal agents work by stopping the fungi from producing a substance called ergosterol, which is an essential component of fungal cell membranes. If ergosterol synthesis is completely or partially inhibited, the cell is no longer able to construct an intact cell membrane. This leads to death of the fungus.
If the skin inflammation causes discomfort and itching, glucocorticoid steroids may be combined with the anti-fungal drug to help prevent further irritation due to the patient scratching the area. Apart from the quicker relief of symptoms, this also helps minimise the risk of secondary bacterial infection caused by the scratching. However, steroids may exacerbate the condition if used alone for fungal infections.
Since fungi tend to thrive in warm, dark, damp conditions, minimizing these conditions can help treat and prevent symptoms. Examples of optimal environmental conditions and behaviors are: losing weight, wearing boxer underwear or no underwear, increasing air-flow by sleeping near a fan, wearing loose sleepwear or no sleepwear, exposing the area to wind and sun, minimizing the use of lap-top computers, and thoroughly cleaning the area with a hand-held shower head and soap.
