Key points

  • Clotrimazole treats selected fungal infections, not bacterial, viral or every inflammatory rash.
  • A rash that worsens or fails to improve may have the wrong diagnosis or need a different treatment.
  • Vaginal, oral and skin products have different instructions and should be used only at the intended site.

Select a listed product and pack to order online. Whether it suits you depends on infection site, formulation and pregnancy status; ask your doctor or pharmacist.

What clotrimazole is used for

Skin products may be used for selected fungal skin infection. Other formulations may treat vaginal or oral fungal infection. A general dermatosis is not necessarily fungal.

How it works

Clotrimazole disrupts fungal cell membranes by inhibiting ergosterol production. It does not address non-fungal causes of itching or discharge.

Important safety checks

Review pregnancy, recurrent infection, diabetes or immune suppression, broken skin and other local products. Genital symptoms with pelvic pain, fever, sores or unusual bleeding need diagnosis before self-treatment.

When to seek urgent care

Seek urgent help for facial swelling or breathing difficulty. Prompt assessment is needed for fever with pelvic pain, rapidly spreading redness, severe blistering, eye exposure with persistent symptoms or signs of serious infection.
