No, Of Derm alone should not be used for jock itch also known as tinea cruris because it is a fungal infection and Of Derm is not an antifungal agent and it is not effective against fungi. Hence Of Derm should not be used for the treatment of jock itch. For the treatment of jock itch, you can use a combination of Of Derm and antifungal drugs such as miconazole and fluconazole.
