Ok, so last year I went to Kusatsu hot springs with a lady friend of mine. We had a great time but I realized that after soaking in the natural onsen there that contained a concentrated volume of sulfur, my jock itch was not itching at all.
So the next day we both went to one of the local shops to talk with one of the staff about 湯の花(yunohana, which is sulfur powder) and he told me that it does indeed have the power to heal many issues. He says he uses it to quickly heal cuts and scrapes on the skin but that it can also heal skin infections such as jock itch.
I was skeptical to a degree about it being able to cure jock itch, but it definitely relieves the symptoms such as the severe itching and redness.
He instructed me to fill a 750ml spray bottle with water and mix in 1/4 of a plastic spoon (size somewhere between a teaspoon and a tablespoon) of sulfur powder. Then he mentioned to spray the surface area of where the jock itch is about 3 or 4 times max, but that you would have to spray a lot more than that amount for it to be dangerous. He just cautioned not to spray the area too much to avoid the skin becoming too dry.
I was really hesitant to use this but this case of jock itch is the worst I have had in my entire life easily. Regular creams and even one prescription cream have failed to cure it. The only thing that seems to really help fight against the insane itching is the sulfur powder. And no this isn't some STD, it is jock itch because I had a doctor verify this lol.
For those that don't know about this, here is a link: http://itisapieceofcake2011.blogspot.com/2017/11/what-is-yunohana.html
I bought this same package (the one on the left) from the same shop possibly:
My question is if there are any foreigners on this forum that have ever used yunohana to treat or cure any skin infections and did it help you?
I know Buta will be bothered that I posted another health related topic, but even if everyone on here is a pervert (me too), I feel that a lot of people here give good advice or have experienced things here in Japan that I haven't so it is still worth posting anyway. Also, this is the off topic section, so we shouldn't be limited to perverted posts only lol.
