Yes: it sounds like fungal infection is resolving...the skin may be very dry. Try Vaseline Intensive Care or a similar product) along with the lotrimin! Hope this helps! Dr Z

No: If you have a fungal skin infection, Lotrimin (clotrimazole) should make it clear up. Two weeks was enough time to see improvement. See your doctor for visual inspection and maybe a scraping to examine under a microscope. Consider seeing a dermatologist if you primary care doctor is unable to help.
