Mycota Athletes Foot Cream 25g

Product Information

Amorolfine is used to treat fungal nail infections. “It works by stopping ergosterol from being produced, which is a chemical fungus that causes nail infections,” says Hussain. “Using an amorolfine cream helps to kill the infection, and allows healthy nails to grow instead.” You should continue treatment for at least a week after the symptoms have cleared up to make sure the infection is fully treated. Nappy rash can become infected by candida yeast, resulting in a fungal nappy rash. It’s best treated with a gentle antifungal such as Clotrimazole 1% cream. For more information about any other possible risks associated with this medicine, please read the information provided with the medicine or consult your doctor or pharmacist.

Certain medicines should not be used during pregnancy or breastfeeding. However, other medicines may be safely used in pregnancy or breastfeeding providing the benefits to the mother outweigh the risks to the unborn baby. Always inform your doctor if you are pregnant or planning a pregnancy, before using any medicine.Neonates, infants born prematurely, those with low birth weight, those with an unstable gastrointestinal function or who have serious illnesses may require special consideration. For any infant, if a drug is prescribed to the nursing mother, it should be at the lowest practical dose and for the shortest time. When drug administration is unavoidable and breastfeeding is to continue, minimisation of exposure of the infant to the drug may sometimes be achieved by timing the maternal doses to just after a feeding episode. Infants exposed to drugs via breast milk should be monitored for unusual signs or symptoms. Interactions between the drug received by the infant from the mother's milk and medication prescribed for the infant should also be considered, for example, when the drug given to the infant may prevent metabolism of the drug received via breast milk. The side effects listed above may not include all of the side effects reported by the medicine's manufacturer. Clotrimazole (and similar miconazole and bifonazole) can kill off athlete’s foot fungus within a week or two. Fungal nail infections start in the skin beneath the toenails, the perfect breeding ground for out-of-control bodily fungi. See our article on best fungal nail treatments.

Athlete’s foot treatments all contain antifungal active ingredients that target and kill the main types of fungi (usually dermatophytes) that cause the infection. Dandruff is often caused by seborrhoeic dermatitis (aka cradle cap in babies), caused by malassezia yeast. Many athlete’s foot treatments also include antibacterial agents such as undecenoic acid, which can help to blitz the unpleasant smell that often accompanies the infection. Thrush is a candida yeast infection that affects the mucosal membranes inside the vagina and sometimes even the mouth. See our article on best thrush treatments. Tolnaftate and undecenoate are yet another group of antifungals. You may have more or less success with them compared with other antifungals, depending on the type of fungus that’s found its way into your skin.

Athlete’s foot can be a smelly old business, thanks to the bacteria that hitch a lift with fungi. This is why Canesten’s cream contains active ingredients to fight bacteria as well as killing off the fungi, making it the most effective all-round treatment for banishing nasty whiffs and itchy athlete’s foot, just in time for summer. Most people experience at least one fungal condition at some point in their lives,” says Hussain Abdeh, superintendent pharmacist at Medicine Direct. “Some people are at a greater risk of getting fungal infections than others, such as if you are taking antibiotics or if you have a weakened immune system. Diabetics are also more prone to them. Most of these conditions are not serious or a cause for concern, but they should be treated swiftly.”
