Scholl Advance Athlete's Foot Cream
Scholl Advance Athlete's Foot Cream contains the active ingredient terbinafine hydrochloride, an antifungal medicine, to treat athlete's foot in adults and children aged 16 years and over.
Athlete's foot (tinea pedis) is a fungal infection that occurs only on the feet (usually both, but not always). It is caused by a common fungus that grows easily in warm, moist conditions such as public showers at the gym and swimming pool changing rooms. Athlete's foot appears as redness between the toes and an itching or burning sensation. Left untreated, this may develop into cracked and flaking skin between the toes or on the soles of the feet. If you are unsure whether you have athlete's foot, ask your doctor or pharmacist.
Directions
- Clean and dry the affected area (especially between the toes) and your hands thoroughly, before applying the cream.
- Before use, pierce the tube seal by turning the cap upside down over the end of the tube and pressing. Place a small amount of cream on your finger.
- Apply just enough cream so that there is a thin layer of cream on the affected area and skin just surrounding it, then rub in gently.
- Wash your hands.
- It may be helpful to cover the application with a gauze strip, especially at night. If you do use gauze, use a clean, new strip each time.
- Use the cream once or twice each day for exactly 1 week. If you do not use the cream for long enough it may not work.
The symptoms of fungal skin infections, such as itching or soreness, should improve within a few days of treatment although redness and scaling may take longer to disappear. Your symptoms should continue to improve even after you have stopped using the cream.
If symptoms do not improve within 2 weeks of finishing the treatment consult your doctor or pharmacist.
