Product Information

Fungal infections may sound gross, but they’re incredibly common. Microscopic fungi, including various types of yeast, live all over your body. Most of the time, these fungi don’t cause any problems, but sometimes a fungus will change and cause an infection. Left untreated, these infections spread easily, so treat them with creams before they get a chance to do more damage. Diaper rash is often caused by a fungal infection and can be treated effectively and safely using clotrimazole.

Apply to the affected area two or three times a day. Use the cream for at least 2 weeks. In some cases it may be necessary to continue to use the cream for more than 4 weeks. Fungi grow best in warm, damp environments; therefore, it’s important to keep infected areas as dry as possible to help combat fungi and prevent reoccurrence. This can be a challenge though, especially for those with an active lifestyle. If this is a concern, take a look at Triple Paste’s AF Antifungal Nitrate Medicated Ointment. Their waterproof formula helps the cream to stay in place and prevents sweat from dissolving it, which can be a big help if you want to apply it before a workout.

Also be aware that certain medications can be more effective for treating particular types of fungi. For example, studies have shown that terbinafine is highly effective for treating athlete’s foot. Lamisil’s AT Cream was specifically designed to treat athlete’s foot by including terbinafine as an active ingredient. The chance for contracting a fungal infection increases as the temperature rises. Fungi grow more rapidly in warmer environments, so make sure to limit the amount of time spent lounging in wet bathing suits or workout clothes. Clotrimazole is not powerful enough to treat fungal nail infections or to clear painful and inflamed pityriasis. And if you want fast results, opt for Lamisil. But this safe and soothing cream is a brilliant standby for the bathroom cabinet.

Also contains: purified water, 2-octyldodecanol, stearyl alcohol, cetyl alcohol, cetyl palmitate, sorbitan stearate, polysorbate 60, benzyl alcohol. Clip toenails short to prevent possible infection, but not too short. A good rule of thumb (or toe in this case) is to cut the nail straight across so the edge reaches the tip of your toe. The ingredients in the cream may affect the latex used in contraceptives such as condoms and diaphragms. This may reduce the effectiveness of the contraceptives. You should therefore use other methods of contraception for at least 5 days after using this medicine in the genital area. You may, for example, use a spermicide gel in addition to the condom or diaphragm. If you need more advice about this speak to your pharmacist. In addition to keeping the above items clean, it’s a smart idea to clean areas like bathtubs, showers, bathroom floors, sinks and counters with a solution of chlorine bleach and water. Chlorine bleach is a disinfectant that kills mold. This will again lessen the chance for reoccurrence of an infection, which is the ultimate goal. Most people experience at least one fungal condition at some point in their lives,” says Hussain Abdeh, superintendent pharmacist at Medicine Direct. “Some people are at a greater risk of getting fungal infections than others, such as if you are taking antibiotics or if you have a weakened immune system. Diabetics are also more prone to them. Most of these conditions are not serious or a cause for concern, but they should be treated swiftly.”

The fungus that causes ringworm is highly contagious, so be careful with items such as towels, clothes or hair brushes. If, for example, a brush was used when scalp ringworm was still active, it could cause a new breakout. During the course of treating a fungal infection, it’s best not to reuse such items without sterilizing and cleaning them first. Dandruff is often caused by seborrhoeic dermatitis (aka cradle cap in babies), caused by malassezia yeast. Goes on SmoothThe small size of this antifungal cream makes it easy to toss in a gym or travel bag.

Doctors recommend that you wash and clean areas affected by fungal infections regularly. Some products tap into the power of natural ingredients that can help soothe skin. Used in conjunction with topical creams, this body wash can provide an extra level of defense against the infection. Nappy rash can become infected by candida yeast, resulting in a fungal nappy rash. It’s best treated with a gentle antifungal such as Clotrimazole 1% cream. Sweat rash (intertrigo) is also caused by candida yeast, this time in areas where the skin gets sweaty and rubs together, such as your armpits. It can be quite sore, so it’s worth treating with an antifungal treatment which also contains an anti-inflammatory pain-killer, such as Daktakort Hydrocortisone.Boots This Medicine is sold by BOOTS UK LIMITED at the professional discretion of a Boots pharmacist. Suitable for Face and Body: Control skin irritation and infections on all areas of your body, suitable for face, body, feet, toenails, fingernails, hands, and heels. Prevents spreading of infections. Have you been on a prescribed course of antibiotics lately? Antibiotics can sometimes produce the unwanted result of wiping out certain beneficial bacteria in your system. These bacteria help keep your system in balance and can prevent the spread of unwanted organisms like fungi. If you are currently taking antibiotics and you’ve recently developed a fungal infection, talk to your doctor about possible changes in medication. If you are looking for an all-natural balm for treatment, go with a product that offers ingredients such as tea tree oil, eucalyptus oil and lavender oil. These all-natural products can also be excellent options for ongoing skin care routines. Amorolfine is used to treat fungal nail infections. “It works by stopping ergosterol from being produced, which is a chemical fungus that causes nail infections,” says Hussain. “Using an amorolfine cream helps to kill the infection, and allows healthy nails to grow instead.”
