Used primarily as an antifungal agent in topical formulations to treat skin infections such as athlete’s foot, jock itch, and ringworm. It works by inhibiting fungal cell membrane synthesis, leading to cell death. Commonly found in creams, sprays, and powders, it is applied directly to affected areas for localized treatment. Its effectiveness against dermatophytes and some yeasts makes it suitable for managing superficial fungal infections. Well-tolerated with minimal systemic absorption, it is often recommended for short-term use in both adults and children.
