Clotrimazole Cream 1% 20g

Clotrimazole Cream 1% 20g for Fungal Skin Infections

You can use this antifungal cream to treat various fungal skin infections including athlete's foot, ringworm, and fungal nappy rash. The active ingredient clotrimazole belongs to a group of medicines called azole antifungals, which work by stopping the growth of fungi that cause skin infections.

This cream provides targeted treatment for fungal infections affecting the skin, helping to clear symptoms such as itching, redness, and scaling. The 20g tube provides sufficient treatment for most fungal skin conditions when used as directed.

How Clotrimazole Works Against Fungal Infections

Clotrimazole works by interfering with the production of ergosterol, an essential component of fungal cell membranes. When ergosterol production is disrupted, the fungal cell membrane becomes damaged and leaky, causing the fungal cells to die.

This mechanism makes clotrimazole cream 1% effective against a wide range of fungi and yeasts that commonly cause skin infections. The cream formulation allows the active ingredient to penetrate the affected skin area and remain in contact with the infection site.

Suitable for Various Fungal Skin Conditions

This cream is suitable for treating several types of fungal skin infections in adults and children over one month of age. You can find effective treatments for various fungal conditions in our Athletes Foot and Fungal Infections collection.

The cream can be used to treat:

• Athlete's foot (tinea pedis) between the toes and on the soles of feet
• Ringworm infections on the body (tinea corporis)
• Fungal nappy rash in infants and young children
• Fungal infections in skin folds and other affected areas

Gentle Formulation for Sensitive Skin Areas

The cream base provides a gentle application method that is suitable for sensitive skin areas. Unlike some antifungal treatments, this formulation is designed to be well-tolerated when applied to delicate skin areas such as between the toes or in skin folds.

The cream absorbs well into the skin without leaving a greasy residue, making it practical for daily use during treatment. This allows you to continue with normal activities while treating your fungal infection effectively.
