A member asked:

Treating fungal infection in armpit with ketoconazole. can antiperspirant be worn with the cream, which should be put on first?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Good question: I would suggest applying the antiperspirant first, wait about 15-20 minutes and then apply the ketoconazole sparingly. On the other hand you might, if you do not perspire a lot hold off on the antiperspirant for a week and just apply the ketoconazole daily for a week.
