Creatinine and GFR are both measures of kidney function, but they go in opposite directions: A higher creatinine means worse kidney function, but a higher GFR means better kidney function. Kidney function goes down with age, but yours is a little lower than typical for a 55-year-old. That may be normal for you. The alcohol the night before testing almost certainly made your kidney function appear worse than it is. Alcohol affects the body’s ability to control fluid status, and most people who drink to excess are a bit depleted the following day. Getting the labs rechecked when fully hydrated will likely show your kidney function to be about the same as it was in 2019. If not, it would be worth looking for conditions that can cause accelerated loss of kidney function, such as high blood pressure. Alcohol can exacerbate kidney function loss.

T.B. In general, when a treatment isn’t working, the first thing to re-evaluate is whether your diagnosis is correct. Jock itch is a fungal infection caused by tinea cruris, but it can be confused for other conditions for example, inverse psoriasis, seborrheic dermatitis, erythrasma or a different fungal infection, Candida, among other possibilities. I would consider doing a diagnostic laboratory test, such as a fungal preparation, or refer you to a dermatologist. However, if the diagnosis is correct, it sounds like the scratching may be a big part of the problem. Constant scratching can worsen itching and lead to bacterial infection. Stopping scratching is critical, but steroid cream (cortisone) can sometimes make treatment of the underlying fungus less effective. Topical antihistamines and a pair of cotton gloves at night can help.
