A member asked:

Jock itch/athletes foot/ringworm - can they all use anti-fungals like lotrimin (clotrimazole) af?

8 doctors weighed in across 2 answers

All are similar: Fungal infections, based on appearance or location. Those are the common names for the infections that are otherwise pretty much the same.

Yes: They are all fungus and hence can all be treated with an antifungal. I woul advise washing hands though prior to applying the medication on the different body parts.
