ISOCONAZOLE+ TOPICAL
This page covers isoconazole in its topical forms, including cream and combination products with a corticosteroid. Isoconazole is an azole antifungal that works on the fungal cell membrane, and the steroid, where included, calms itching quickly.
What Isoconazole Topical Is Used For
- Fungal infection between the toes and in the groin
- Ringworm on the body
- Yeast infection in moist skin folds
- Itchy inflamed fungal rashes, in steroid combinations
Common Side Effects
- Burning or stinging on application
- Redness and itching
- Peeling or dryness
Precautions
Steroid containing versions are for short courses only, generally one to two weeks, because prolonged use thins the skin and can let the fungal infection spread while masking it. Keep the area clean and dry, treat both feet even if one looks clear, and continue plain antifungal cream for a week or two after the rash settles.
