A member asked:

What will happen if you put antifungal cream on skin with no fungus?

Probably nothing.: This will most likely not cause any problems. Most common side effects are redness and skin irritation. Repeated application will increase chances of allergic reaction. Only use it if you need it. See a doctor if you are not sure what you have.
