Can jock itch be handled online?

Sometimes yes, especially when the rash sounds like a straightforward itchy fungal rash rather than an STI, bacterial infection, or painful genital problem.

What symptoms make this a poor fit?

Severe pain, drainage, ulcers, swelling, fever, or anything involving the testicles or a deep skin infection should be seen in person.
