Clean and thoroughly dry the affected area before applying the cream. This helps the medication penetrate better.
Apply a thin layer of Lotrimin Clotrimazole 1% cream to the infected skin, covering the entire affected area and a small surrounding area. Don’t use more cream than necessary; a thin layer is sufficient.
Gently rub the cream into the skin until it’s fully absorbed. Avoid excessively rubbing, as this may irritate the skin.
Apply the cream twice daily, usually morning and evening, or as directed by your doctor. Consistent application is key for successful treatment.
Continue using the cream for the full duration prescribed by your doctor, even if the infection appears cleared. Stopping early may lead to recurrence.
Wash your hands thoroughly after each application to prevent spreading the infection to other areas.
If your symptoms worsen or don’t improve after one week, consult your doctor. They can assess your condition and adjust the treatment plan if needed.
Store the cream at room temperature, away from direct sunlight and moisture.
