I did something very similar, but the itching was more focused around the groin and balls, and instead of Lysol I used ethanol. Apparently I had lots of scratches too, and seems like balls are kinda sensitive on top of that. It burned really bad, but not for very long. It kind felt like small, sharp, flaming needles were piercing my balls too. I figured all the burning meant it should work and I was really broke so I talked myself into doing it again twice a day for a few days.
It didn't work.

Common symptoms of jock itch include:
redness in the affected area
persistent itching in the affected area
burning sensation in the affected area
flaking, peeling, or cracking skin in the affected area
a rash that gets worse with exercise or activity
changes in skin color
a rash that does not improve or even worsens or spreads with over-the-counter hydrocortisone (anti-itch) cream
Jock itch cream or spray cost under 8 dollars. Maybe next time you'll choose the better option. I should know because I've been walking and working my ass off at work lately and I currently came down with a small case. I'm about to go to the store now and buy some spray.

Thanks for the medical advice, and good luck with your treatment. Just as an aside, when I say "really broke" I really do mean it, the cream wans't really an option for a few days. Still, i figure just keeping it clean and dry in the mean time would have been better, but oh well
