A member asked:

Have tinea pedis on one foot. use bare hands applying clotrimazole.wash hands after.can hands get infected if i continue this process?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Yes possibly: But washing hands helps. Fungal infections are contagious. The best way to go about this is to purchase some disposable gloves from the pharmacy and wear to apply the cream.
