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