Apply Lotrimin Clotrimazole 1% cream twice daily, ensuring complete coverage of the affected area. Continue treatment for at least one week after symptoms clear, or as your doctor advises. This helps prevent recurrence.
Lotrimin targets common fungal infections like athlete’s foot, jock itch, and ringworm. The active ingredient, clotrimazole, disrupts fungal cell membranes, effectively killing the fungus. This cream is generally well-tolerated, but skin irritation is possible.
Before applying, gently cleanse and thoroughly dry the affected area. Avoid applying to broken skin. If you experience significant irritation, redness, or swelling, discontinue use and consult your doctor.

Keep the cream out of reach of children. Store at room temperature, away from direct sunlight and excessive heat. If symptoms persist for longer than two weeks, or worsen, seek medical attention. Lotrimin is a topical antifungal; it does not treat bacterial or viral infections.
