Canesten® Hydrocortisone Cream

Effective treatment for candidal intertrigo and athlete’s foot when accompanied by inflammation & itching.

Canesten® Hydrocortisone Athlete’s Foot 1% w/w Cream is a triple action treatment for fungal sweat rash (Candidal Intertrigo) and athlete’s foot, which is anti-fungal, anti-bacterial and anti-inflammatory.

This is the only over the counter treatment you can buy that is formulated with a combination of clotrimazole and hydrocortisone acetate. The active ingredient clotrimazole is anti-fungal to treat the fungal skin infection as well as being anti-bacterial to help get rid of co-existing bacteria. Hydrocortisone acetate is anti-inflammatory to provide rapid relief from itching and inflammation.

Canesten® Hydrocortisone Athlete’s Foot 1% w/w Cream can be used to treat athlete’s foot and fungal sweat rash (Candidal Intertrigo) when there are additional symptoms of inflammation which require rapid relief (like swelling, redness and itching).

Triple action

The triple-action formula is:

  • Anti-fungal – to treat the fungal skin infection
  • Anti-bacterial – to help get rid of the bacteria associated with the fungal infection
  • Anti-inflammatory - to provide rapid relief from itching and inflammation

Frequently Asked Questions about athlete’s foot

    How long does the treatment take?

    Depending on the product, recommended treatment time varies from 1 to 4 weeks. The symptoms of the skin infection, such as itching or soreness, should improve within a few days of treatment with all Canesten® athlete’s foot creams. Signs such as redness and scaling may take longer to disappear. If your symptoms do not improve or worsen after using an athlete’s foot treatment, please consult your doctor.

    Can I continue exercising if I have athlete’s foot?

    Athlete’s foot shouldn’t stop you from exercising, though you should stay away from swimming in order to help prevent spreading the infection. When exercising, you should wear cotton socks, which are more breathable, and in changing rooms you should wear flip flops or sandals. After exercising, be sure to properly clean and dry your feet, wash your socks in hot water and let your shoes dry after wearing them.
