How to use

Apply a thin layer to affected area twice daily for 1-2 weeks, then either stop (if resolved) or step down to single-agent clotrimazole (Clocip Cream) for the remainder of the antifungal course. Total antifungal course: athlete’s foot 4 weeks, ringworm 2-4 weeks, jock itch 2 weeks.

Avoid face, groin, genitals, axillae, broken skin, and children <12 without specialist advice.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why combine a steroid with an antifungal?

Severe inflammatory tinea (kerion, severely inflamed jock itch) can be very itchy and uncomfortable. Adding a mid-potency steroid for the first 1-2 weeks reduces symptoms while the antifungal works. The risk is prolonged steroid use can mask resistant infection.

Why not just use the steroid alone?

Steroid alone in tinea causes ‘tinea incognito’ — the rash partially clears (inflammation suppressed) but the fungus thrives, eventually flaring with atypical morphology. Always use the antifungal alongside or step DOWN from combination to antifungal-alone, never the reverse.

When should I switch to single-agent clotrimazole?

After 1-2 weeks once the inflammation has settled. Single-agent clotrimazole continued for 2-4 weeks total ensures the fungal infection is fully cleared without prolonged steroid exposure.

What about athlete’s foot?

Inflammatory cases with significant erythema benefit from 1-2 weeks of combination. Less inflamed cases do better on single-agent clotrimazole or terbinafine cream from the start.

Pregnancy & breastfeeding?

Single-agent topical clotrimazole is preferred in pregnancy and breastfeeding when antifungal action is needed. Steroid-containing combinations should be reserved for severe symptomatic flares.

What about Candida (yeast) intertrigo?

Candida loves warm, moist skin folds — exactly where you should NOT apply steroid for long. For groin/axilla candida, prefer single-agent topical antifungal (clotrimazole, miconazole) and address the moisture/maceration. Combination creams may help short-term in inflamed cases.

Side effects?

Local burning, irritation, contact dermatitis. Long-term: skin atrophy, telangiectasia, striae, hypopigmentation, perioral dermatitis (face), skin thinning.

Drug interactions?

Negligible — topical absorption is low. Concomitant topical retinoids may increase irritation.

Storage?

Below 30°C, away from direct sunlight. Tighten cap after use.

What if symptoms persist?

Course-correct at 2 weeks. If still inflamed, consider scraping for fungal microscopy/culture to confirm the diagnosis (the combination may be masking another diagnosis like eczema, psoriasis, or scabies).
