Used primarily as an antifungal agent in topical formulations to treat skin infections such as athlete’s foot, jock itch, ringworm, and cutaneous candidiasis. It is effective against dermatophytes, yeasts, and certain Gram-positive bacteria, making it suitable for treating mixed fungal and bacterial skin infections. Commonly found in creams, sprays, and powders, it works by disrupting the fungal cell membrane through inhibition of ergosterol synthesis. Also used in vaginal preparations for treating yeast infections. Its broad-spectrum activity and low systemic absorption make it a safe option for localized treatment of superficial infections.
