Find this combination cream at your local CVS pharmacy. It’s a prescription medication, so you’ll need a doctor’s prescription.
This cream treats fungal infections accompanied by inflammation. The clotrimazole fights the fungus, while betamethasone reduces swelling and itching. Common uses include athlete’s foot, jock itch, and ringworm. However, always follow your doctor’s instructions for application and duration of treatment.
Apply a thin layer to the affected area twice daily, usually morning and evening. Wash and dry the area thoroughly before application. Avoid contact with eyes and mucous membranes. Stop using and contact your doctor if irritation occurs or if your condition worsens.
