Tinactin works because you've got a fungal condition. That's all Tinactin kills or controls...various fungal skin disorders. Our body normally has the biology to prevent fungal infections around the groin. Fungi thrive in moist dark places and skin friction sets the stage for an infection. Changing your base layers to merino might help but it's unlikely the solution rests there. The fact that you've had a fungal infection pretty much proves you're predisposed to having it again and again.
Stop using strong antibacterial soaps. They don't kill the fungus but they can inhibit good bacteria that normally live on your skin and help to prevent fungal growth.
Don't manscape 'there' unless you enjoy the worst kind of irritation possible if a fungus moves in.
Wear briefs or boxer briefs made from absorbent fabrics. Wicking isn't the same as absorbent. Select undershorts which help prevent skin-to-skin friction.
You can use Cruex or Desenex powder to help keep dry and dissuade a fungal condition. It works better if you use it before any itch or activity.
Staying clean and dry is paramount. If it's a warm day and nobody is around.....do it.
You change socks as needed. If predisposed to fungi, carry undershorts and change mid-day. Don't forget a ziplock bag.
If nothing seems to work, go see your doc prior to hunting. You may need to start topical antifungals prior to hunting.
