Keep going after it looks better
Fungal infections come back if treatment stops early: continue for two weeks after the skin looks clear (a month in total for athlete's foot, ringworm and jock itch). Keep away from the eyes. It can weaken latex condoms and diaphragms for five days after use. See a pharmacist or GP if there's no improvement after four weeks, or if the scalp or nails are involved.

Product overview

About Canesten Cream 20g

The original Canesten: clotrimazole 1% in a light, non-greasy cream that treats the whole family of fungal skin infections, from athlete's foot, ringworm and jock itch to sweat rash in skin folds, fungal nappy rash, and the external itching of thrush in women and men. The 20g tube is the size for a single infection. Pharmacy pack with the P mark.

Why clotrimazole

Clotrimazole kills both the dermatophyte fungi behind athlete's foot and ringworm and the Candida yeast behind thrush and nappy rash, which is why one tube covers so much. It works at the site without being absorbed, so it's suitable for babies' nappy areas and for adults' most delicate skin alike. The catch is patience: fungi return if treatment stops the day the itch does.

How to use

Wash and dry the area, then rub in a thin layer two or three times a day. Keep going for at least two weeks for thrush or nappy rash and at least four weeks for athlete's foot, ringworm or jock itch, continuing for a fortnight after the skin looks normal. For athlete's foot, dry between the toes and treat both feet.

Good to know

It can damage latex condoms and diaphragms for five days after use. Keep it away from the eyes. If there's no improvement after four weeks, or the infection involves the scalp or nails, see a pharmacist or GP. Pharmacist-reviewed before dispatch.
