Instructions:
Apple Cider Vinegar: Getting rid of tinea cruris is easy with apple cider vinegar. The acidic property of apple cider vinegar helps kill the fungus and stop the infection from spreading rapidly. Also, it helps draw out extra moisture from the infected area, which in turn speeds up the healing process.

-- Make a solution of two cups of water and one-half cup of apple cider vinegar. Wash the affected area with antiseptic soap. Then soak a clean washcloth in the mixture and apply it to the affected skin. Allow it to dry on its own. Then clean the area with a wet cloth and pat it dry. Follow this remedy twice daily for several weeks.

-- Fill a spray bottle with equal amounts of apple cider vinegar and water. Spray the solution liberally on the affected area. Allow the area to air dry. Repeat two times daily until you get the desired results.
