Which works better for fungal infection?!
Question: Which works better for fungal infection.?
My daughter has jock itch. I suppose its from wearing pads while she is on her period. The rash between her buttocks is very cherry red and itches. Of course she is misreable. I told her to go to Walmart and purchase OTC Miconazole, or Lotrisone cream Equate generic brand. It cost about $3 for a small tube. Which works the best on jock itch.? Health Question & Answer
Answers:
Different anti-fungals respond best to different kinds of fungal infections. Creams that contain Miconazole, Clotrimazole, or Tolnaftate generally work the best on jock itch. Lotrisone contains Clotrimazole and Betamethasone (a topical steroid). I would not suggest using Lotrisone unless the area is inflamed.Other things that might help her is just making sure the affected area is clean and dry, as well as wearing loose clothing around the area. Hope this helps!Health Question & Answer
Different species of fungus respond to different antifungals. Try one and if it doesn't work, switch to another. If that doesn't work, see your doctor.Health Question & Answer
Lotrimin AF is the best. Recommended by a pediatrician when my daughter was a baby for a diaper rash that would not go away with any other treatment.Health Question & Answer
