Fungal

Ringworm is an itchy, uncomfortable infection caused by a fungus (not a worm). But it can be hard to treat, and it spreads easily. You can take steps to prevent its spread.

Nystatin cream can help with fungal infections like athlete’s foot, thrush, and jock itch. It is also available as an oral medication, powder, or liquid.

Clotrimazole works by stopping fungus from growing. Depending on where you have a fungal infection, clotrimazole might work within a few days or up to 4 weeks.
