Mycosis of the skin and skin folds, such as pityriasis versicolor, skin candidiasis, tinea pedis or athlete's foot, tinea corporis.

Dosage

CLOTRIMAZOLE EG should be applied in small quantities two-three times a day in correspondence with the affected area, rubbing lightly, after having carefully washed and dried the part. CLOTRIMAZOLE EG 1% cream is especially indicated for the treatment of hairless (hairless) skin areas. In general, for the disappearance of the manifestations, a period of treatment without interruption of three to four weeks is sufficient.
