Product overview
About Care Clotrimazole Cream
The same medicine as Canesten Cream at a pharmacy-generic price: clotrimazole 1% for athlete's foot, ringworm, jock itch, sweat rash in skin folds, fungal nappy rash and the external itching of thrush in women and men. 20g tube, pharmacy pack.
Why clotrimazole
Clotrimazole kills both the dermatophyte fungi behind athlete's foot and ringworm and the Candida yeast behind thrush and nappy rash, so one tube covers the lot. It acts on the skin without being absorbed, which makes it suitable from a baby's nappy area to an adult's groin. Brand or generic, the active ingredient and strength are identical.
How to use
Wash and dry the area, then rub in a thin layer two or three times a day. Continue for at least two weeks for thrush or nappy rash and at least four weeks for athlete's foot, ringworm or jock itch, keeping going for two weeks 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. No improvement after four weeks, or an infection involving the scalp or nails, needs a pharmacist or GP. Contains cetostearyl and benzyl alcohol, which can irritate sensitive skin. Pharmacist-reviewed before dispatch.

Frequently asked questions
Is it as good as Canesten?
It's the same active ingredient at the same 1% strength, made to the same British Pharmacopoeia standard. The difference is the price.
How long should I use it?
Two weeks for thrush or nappy rash, four weeks for athlete's foot, ringworm or jock itch, and two weeks beyond the point the skin looks clear.
Can it be used on the face?
Yes for a fungal infection on the face, keeping it away from the eyes. Ringworm on the scalp needs a GP, as creams don't reach the hair roots.
