Canesten Antifungal Cream
Canesten Cream is a trusted treatment for fungal skin infections, such as nappy rash. It provides relief from itching and irritation by targeting the root cause of fungal infections. The formula is gentle enough for babies suffering from nappy rash while still being effective for relieving irritation in adults.
What Are Fungal Skin Infections, Like Fungal Nappy Rash?
Fungal skin infections occur when fungi naturally present on the skin grow in warm, damp environments. This can happen inside tight shoes or a baby's nappy, leading to an itchy, stinging rash that causes discomfort and irritation.
How Does Canesten Cream Treat Nappy Rash or Other Fungal Skin Infections?
Canesten Cream contains Clotrimazole, a powerful antifungal ingredient from the imidazole group. Clotrimazole works by fighting fungi and bacteria responsible for infections, including fungal nappy rash.
How to Use Canesten Cream
To use Canesten Cream, apply a thin and even layer to the affected area 2–3 times per day and gently massage into the skin. For an area the size of your hand, use about ½ a centimetre of cream. For foot infections, wash and dry your feet thoroughly, especially between the toes, before applying.
Why Do I Need to Answer Questions to Buy This Product?
Canesten Cream is available without a prescription, but Online Pharmacy 4U requires you to complete a short medical questionnaire. This is a legal requirement to ensure that Canesten Cream is suitable for your condition.
When Should Canesten Cream Not Be Used?
Do not use Canesten Cream if you or your baby are allergic to clotrimazole or any of the other listed ingredients. The cream is not suitable for nail or scalp infections. Be aware that Canesten Cream may reduce the effectiveness of rubber contraceptives like condoms or diaphragms. If applying to the vulva or penis, use alternative protection for at least 5 days.
Potential Side Effects
Although rare, some people may experience side effects from Canesten Cream, such as:
- Rash
- Difficulty swallowing or breathing
- Nausea
- Swelling of lips, face, throat, or tongue
- Dizziness or faintness
If you notice any of these reactions, stop using the cream and seek medical help immediately.
