Mycoten is a broad-spectrum antifungal cream containing Clotrimazole. It is designed to treat various fungal and yeast infections of the skin. The cream is formulated to penetrate the skin layers effectively to reach the site of the infection, providing both relief from symptoms and eradication of the underlying fungus.
This product is primarily indicated for fungal skin infections. It is used for:
Dermatophyte Infections: Including Ringworm (Tinea corporis), Athlete’s foot (Tinea pedis), and Jock itch (Tinea cruris).
Candidiasis: Treats skin rashes caused by yeast (Candida), such as those occurring in skin folds (armpits, under breasts, or groin).
Fungal Nappy Rash: Effective for infants where a diaper rash has become infected with yeast.
Tinea Versicolor: Clearing "white patches" or discolored spots on the skin caused by fungal overgrowth.
Paronychia: Fungal infections occurring around the fingernails or toenails.
Clotrimazole (1% w/w): A proven antifungal agent that works by inhibiting the synthesis of ergosterol, a vital component of the fungal cell membrane. This disruption causes the fungal cells to break apart and die.
Application: Apply a thin, even layer to the affected area.
Frequency: Usually applied 2 to 3 times daily.
Duration:
For most skin infections: 2 to 4 weeks.
For Athlete's foot: Continue for 2 weeks after the symptoms have disappeared to prevent the infection from returning.
Cleanse: Wash the affected area and dry it thoroughly before application. Fungus thrives in moisture, so drying is essential.
Apply: Rub the cream in gently until it is fully absorbed.
Hygiene: Wash your hands immediately after application to prevent the fungus from spreading to other parts of the body or to other people.
Clothing: For foot infections, wear clean cotton socks and change them daily.
External Use Only: Avoid contact with the eyes, nose, and mouth.
Consistency: Do not skip doses. Stopping the treatment too early increases the risk of the infection coming back.
Skin Irritation: If you experience severe redness, burning, or blistering, stop use and consult our pharmacist.
Pregnancy: Clotrimazole is generally considered safe, but please consult a healthcare professional before use if you are pregnant or breastfeeding.
Indicated For: Infants, children, and adults.
Versatility: Suitable for use on most parts of the body, including sensitive skin areas.
Q: Can I use Mycoten for my baby’s diaper rash?
A: Yes, if the rash is fungal (usually indicated by bright red patches with distinct borders). However, if it is a standard friction rash, a barrier cream like Zinc Oxide is better.
Q: How long until I see results?
A: Itching usually begins to subside within the first 2–3 days, but the visible rash may take longer to clear.
Q: Is Mycoten the same as a steroid cream?
A: No. Mycoten is an antifungal. It kills the fungus rather than just suppressing the inflammation. If your rash is very itchy, our pharmacist may recommend a different version (like Mycoten-G) which contains a mild steroid for extra relief.
