Wash your hands thoroughly before and after application. This prevents spreading the infection.
Apply a thin layer of cream to the affected area. A thicker layer won’t necessarily speed up healing; it may even hinder absorption.
Gently rub the cream into the skin until it’s fully absorbed. Avoid harsh rubbing.
Apply the cream as directed on the product label, usually twice a day. Maintain consistency for best results. Missing doses can prolong the infection.
Ensure complete coverage of the affected area. Don’t skip any spots.
Continue using the cream for the full duration prescribed by your doctor, even if the symptoms improve sooner. Stopping early can lead to recurrence.
Wear loose-fitting, breathable cotton underwear. This allows for better air circulation, promoting faster healing and reducing irritation.
Avoid using scented soaps, lotions, or other products in the genital area while using the antifungal cream, as these can interfere with treatment.
If symptoms persist or worsen after a week, consult your doctor immediately. They can reassess the situation and adjust your treatment plan if necessary.
Note: Always follow the instructions provided on your specific antifungal cream packaging.
