Topical Anti-fungal

Topical antifungal creams can be used
1. As monotherapy to treat Dermatophyte, Yeast infections & mould skin infections.
2. As an adjunct to oral therapy for tinea capitis and tinea barbae.

The creams are applied to the affected area 2x / day for 2-4 weeks, including a margin of several centimetres of normal skin.

Continue for 1-2 weeks after the last visible rash has cleared. Repeated treatment is often necessary
