Short answer

Can I get jock itch treatment online in Texas?

Yes, for adults 18 and older in Texas. Itchy, red rash in the groin or inner thighs? A clinician reviews your symptoms privately and builds a plan to clear it. Review is by a Texas-licensed Passion Health clinician, 24/7 on weekdays and 7 AM–9 PM CT on weekends. The flat price is $59, or use insurance.

About the condition

What to know about jock itch

Jock itch (tinea cruris) is a fungal skin infection of the groin and inner thighs. It causes an itchy, red or darker rash with a raised, scaly edge. It is common in men, athletes, and people who sweat a lot. People with athlete's foot often get it too, since the same fungus can spread from the feet.

Before you start

Is online care right for you?

A good fit for online care

  • An itchy, ring-shaped or scaly rash in the groin or inner thighs
  • Jock itch that keeps coming back, often along with athlete's foot
  • A rash that has not cleared with 2 weeks of over-the-counter antifungal cream
  • A rash in skin folds where you are not sure if it is fungus or yeast

Book an in-person visit instead if

  • Sores, blisters, or open ulcers on your penis, vulva, or genitals (these need STD testing) Same day
  • Fever along with the groin rash Same day
  • Redness, warmth, swelling, or pus spreading from the rash Same day
  • A rash on or around your eye Same day
  • Swelling of your face or eyelids, without trouble breathing Same day

Not near one of our clinics? Online Care is open to adults anywhere in Texas; our clinics are in Dallas–Fort Worth. If the safety questions or your clinician show you need to be examined, we tell you what kind of care you need and how soon — an emergency room, an urgent care center, or a clinician near you. If you've already paid, the full fee is refunded and you get a written summary of your visit to take with you.

Call 911 or go to the ER now if you have

Call 911

  • Swelling of your lips, tongue or throat, or trouble breathing or swallowing

Emergency room now

  • A rash with fever, and you feel very unwell
  • Widespread blistering or peeling skin, or sores in your mouth or eyes
  • Skin that is turning dark purple or black

Also call 911 for chest pain, trouble breathing, stroke signs, a sudden severe headache, fainting, a seizure, severe bleeding, new confusion, throat swelling, an overdose or thoughts of harming someone else — and call or text 988 for thoughts of harming yourself. If screening routes you before you pay, nothing is charged. If a clinician routes you after you've paid, the full fee is refunded.

How it works

How your jock itch visit works

  1. 1
    Answer the jock itch intake

    About 5 minutes, with photos if they help. Emergency and safety questions come first.

  2. 2
    A clinician reviews it the same day

    A Texas-licensed Passion Health clinician reads everything and calls or videos you if they need more.

  3. 3
    You get a plan

    If treatment is appropriate, a prescription goes to the pharmacy you choose.

  4. 4
    Follow-up is built in

    A 48-hour check-in and secure messaging. If you need to be seen, a same-day visit at our Dallas–Fort Worth clinics, or clear advice on where to go near you.

Your care

What to expect from your clinician

What your clinician may consider

  • Reviewing your symptoms and any photos to tell jock itch apart from yeast, psoriasis, or other rashes
  • A prescription-strength antifungal cream, if appropriate, often used until about a week after the rash clears
  • Treating athlete's foot at the same time so the fungus doesn't spread back
  • Keeping the area dry, changing out of sweaty clothes, and avoiding steroid-only creams that can make fungus worse
  • An antifungal pill only for widespread or hard-to-treat cases, if appropriate

Shown so you know what to expect. The reviewing clinician decides what, if anything, is appropriate for you — a prescription is never guaranteed, and controlled medicines are never prescribed online.

Price & insurance

How much does an online jock itch visit cost?

Quick evaluation
$59
  • A Texas-licensed clinician reviews your intake
  • A care plan, and a prescription if appropriate
  • 48-hour check-in
  • 14 days of secure messaging

Using insurance: we're in network with BCBS of Texas, Aetna, UnitedHealthcare, Cigna, Humana and Healthcare Highways, and we verify eligibility for every plan before review — you see your estimated cost-share first. New patients have a short video visit, because plans pay for a visit, not a form. Same-day review applies to self-pay visits; insurance visits begin once we've verified your plan, which is the next business morning if you submit overnight or on a weekend. Medicare, Medicaid, CHIP and TRICARE are billed to the program, and the cash rate isn't offered for covered services.

Full refund if your case isn't accepted: if the clinician doesn't accept your case for online care, for any reason, the full fee is refunded to your card within 10 business days, and we help you get the care you need: a same-day visit at one of our Dallas–Fort Worth clinics or, if you're not near one, clear advice on where to be seen and a written summary of your visit. With insurance, no claim is submitted for the online review. Paying the flat price yourself? You can ask for a written Good Faith Estimate before your visit.

Labs and imaging, if needed, are billed separately, and medication is paid at your pharmacy. Passion Health doesn't sell, ship or mark up medication.

Follow-up

A 48-hour check-in message and 14 days of secure messaging. If you're not improving, we book a same-day clinic visit, or, if you're not near one of our clinics, tell you where to be seen near you.

48-hour check-in and 14 days of messaging. If the rash is not clearly better after 2 weeks of treatment, send new photos so your clinician can rethink the cause.

Questions

Questions about jock itch care

How much does an online jock itch visit cost?

The flat cash rate is $59 for a quick evaluation, or use your insurance and pay your plan's cost-share — we show you an estimate before review starts. Medication is paid at your pharmacy. If the clinician doesn't accept your case for online care, for any reason, the full fee is refunded to your card.

Will I talk to someone, or is it just a form?

A Texas-licensed Passion Health clinician reviews every intake and decides your plan — not software. For jock itch, Texas law lets the clinician evaluate you from a condition-specific intake plus your photos and records, and they'll call or video you whenever something needs a conversation. New patients using insurance have a short video visit, because plans pay for a visit, not a form.

Is a prescription guaranteed?

No. You're paying for a licensed clinician's evaluation and plan. Many visits end with a prescription; some end with a different plan, a test, or a referral. Controlled medicines — stimulants, benzodiazepines, opioids, testosterone, sleep aids like zolpidem — are never prescribed at an online visit.

Why does my jock itch keep coming back?

The most common reasons are stopping treatment too early, athlete's foot spreading the fungus, and staying in sweaty clothes. Keep using the cream for about a week after the rash looks gone, treat your feet, and put your socks on before your underwear so fungus from your feet doesn't reach your groin.

Can I use hydrocortisone cream on jock itch?

It's better not to use a steroid cream by itself. Steroids can calm the itch for a while, but they may let the fungus spread and change how the rash looks, which makes it harder to diagnose. Tell your clinician if you have used one, so they can plan the right treatment.

Is jock itch an STD?

No. Jock itch is a fungal infection, not a sexually transmitted infection, though it can sometimes pass between partners through close skin contact. Sores, blisters, or ulcers on the genitals are different and need STD testing. If you have any of those, your intake will route you to an in-person visit for testing.

The Texas law behind this visit

A clinician may form a valid patient relationship online using store-and-forward technology — your condition-specific intake, photos and records — paired with a call or video when needed, as long as the in-person standard of care is met (Tex. Occ. Code §111.005(a)(3), §111.007). Your clinician gives you guidance on follow-up care and, with your consent, sends new patients' visit notes to their primary care physician within 72 hours (§111.005(b)).
