Canesten Fungal Infection Cream, 20G

Canesten Fungal Infection Cream is used to treat fungal skin infections such as ringworm, athlete’s foot, fungal nappy rash and fungal sweat rash. It is also used to relieve irritation of the vulva (external female thrush) or the end of the penis, which may be associated with male thrush.

The active substance in Canesten Antifungal Cream is clotrimazole. Clotrimazole belongs to a group of medicines called imidazoles and is an antifungal agent which fights the cause of fungal skin infections

You can help the treatment to work if you follow these simple self-help tips:
• Although the infected area will itch, try not to scratch. Scratching will damage the surface of the skin and cause the infection to spread further.
• Keep the affected skin areas clean.
• Pay particular attention to drying the skin, but avoid excessive rubbing.
• Do not share towels, bath mats, etc. with other people as you could spread the infection to them.
• Always wash your hands after treating the infection to prevent it from spreading.
If you have athlete’s foot:
• Remember to dry the skin between the toes thoroughly.
• Wash your socks, stockings, and tights thoroughly in hot water to remove any shed skin or fungal spores.
• Change your footwear daily if possible

Common types of Fungal skin Infections

Athlete’s foot

Athlete’s foot is a common fungal infection that affects the feet. You can usually treat it with creams, sprays or powders from a pharmacy, but it can keep coming back.

One of the main symptoms of an Athlete’s foot is itchy white patches between your toes.

It can also cause sore and flaky patches on your feet.

The skin can look red, but this may be less noticeable on brown or black skin.

Sometimes the skin on your feet may become cracked or bleed.

Athlete’s feet can also affect the soles or sides of your feet. It sometimes causes fluid-filled blisters.

Ringworm:

Ringworm is a common fungal infection. It’s not caused by worms. You can usually buy medicine from a pharmacy to treat it.

The main symptom of ringworm is a rash. It may look red, silver, or darker than the surrounding skin, depending on your skin tone.

The rash may be scaly, dry, swollen, or itchy.

Ringworm can appear anywhere on the body, including the scalp (tinea capitis) and groin (jock itch).

It can be passed on through close contact

Thrush:

Thrush is a common yeast infection that affects men and women. It’s usually harmless but it can be uncomfortable and keep coming back. It is not classed as a sexually transmitted infection (STI).

THRUSH SYMPTOMS IN WOMEN

white vaginal discharge (often like cottage cheese), which does not usually smell
itching and irritation around the vagina
soreness and stinging during sex or when you pee

THRUSH SYMPTOMS IN MEN

irritation, burning and redness around the head of the penis and under the foreskin
a white discharge (like cottage cheese)

THRUSH IN OTHER AREAS

Thrush can affect other areas of skin, such as the armpits, groin, and between the fingers.

This usually causes a red, itchy or painful rash that scales over with white or yellow discharge. The rash may not be so obvious on darker skin.

HOW TO USE Canesten Fungal Infection Cream

If Canesten Antifungal Cream has been prescribed for you by your doctor, follow any instructions he/she may have given you. If you purchased this product without a prescription, follow these directions closely:
• Before use, pierce the tube seal by inverting the cap over the end of the tube and press.
• If the feet are infected, they should be washed and dried thoroughly, especially between the toes, before applying the cream.
• Canesten Antifungal Cream should be applied thinly and evenly to the affected areas two or three times daily and rubbed in gently.
• A strip of cream (1/2 cm long) is enough to treat an area of about the size of the hand.
• The duration of the treatment depends upon the type of infection. Generally a minimum of two weeks is required, although up to four weeks may be necessary.
• If you have athlete’s foot, it may help to use an antifungal dusting powder as well. Ask your doctor or

The symptoms of skin infection, such as itching or soreness, should improve within a few days of treatment although signs such as redness and scaling may take longer to disappear. If symptoms persist, consult your doctor
