Isoconazole is an azole antifungal applied to the skin. It damages the membrane that fungal cells need to survive, and some products combine it with a mild steroid to settle the itching and redness faster.

What Isoconazole Is Used For

Ringworm, athletes foot and jock itch
Fungal infections in skin folds and under the breasts
Vaginal fungal infection, as a cream
Fungal nappy rash

Common Side Effects

Burning or stinging where applied
Redness and itching
Dryness or peeling

Precautions

Apply a thin layer beyond the visible edge of the rash and continue for one to two weeks after it clears, otherwise it returns. Keep the area dry, and wash towels and clothing in hot water. Steroid combinations are for short use only and are not suitable for the face or long term. See a doctor if the rash spreads, weeps or does not improve in two weeks.
