Product Information

During the course of treating a fungal infection, it’s best not to reuse such items without sterilizing and cleaning them first. 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.

Alternatively, you can use the cream once or twice a day, for 2 to 4 weeks, and then use the shampoo once every 1 to 2 weeks to stop your symptoms coming back.

The best creams for fungal infections are versatile medicines, quickly able to clear up everything from athlete’s foot to ringworm, thrush and even dandruff.

If you're using a mild steroid cream (such as hydrocortisone) to help with swelling or inflammation caused by the skin infection, put the steroid cream on in the morning and the ketoconazole cream in the evening. Clotrimazole (such as Canesten Thrush Cream) is suitable for treating all kinds of fungal infection, including ringworm, genital thrush and nappy rash. It’s safe to use on your upper thighs and buttocks to combat an attack of jock itch or sweat rash, and does feel lovely and cooling, but it’s not suitable for genital thrush.

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. Antibiotics can sometimes produce the unwanted result of wiping out certain beneficial bacteria in your system. Ketoconazole cream and shampoo usually take 2 to 4 weeks to work for dandruff, scaly and dry or greasy skin (seborrhoeic dermatitis), jock itch and sweat rash. Therefore a Boots pharmacist may be required to contact you by phone to find out some additional information. Ketoconazole is also a great itch-killer, so Daktarin is a good choice for treating athlete’s foot and jock itch.

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.

Chemist Direct sells single and multiple packs of clotrimazole cream, whose 1% strength is strong enough to treat fungal infections effectively, but gentle enough to be safe for use on children, whose undeveloped immune systems make them particularly susceptible.

The result is the DWYM Score which represents the overall true rating of a product based upon a 1-10 scale. If you're using ketoconazole twice a day, make sure you wait at least 30 minutes after putting it on before using the steroid cream. If the itching, redness or burning feeling is no better after a few days, or it gets worse at any time, stop using the cream and speak to a pharmacist or doctor.The good news is that they’re usually less dangerous than bacterial infections, and quicker and easier to treat with creams. Carry on using the cream for 3 days after your symptoms have cleared up, to stop the infection coming back. This topical antifungal cream earns our top spot for its unique waterproof formula that helps keep it in place, even during workouts. From the period of 1970 to 1990, tremendous advancements were made in antifungal drugs that are both safe and effective.
