A member asked:

Can i use cream with clotrimazole for ringworm if the package says its for jock itch?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

It can work: Applied 2X daily to the affected area it can kill off the fungus that causes ringworm, which also causes jock itch. Lotramin is another OTC product that can cure it.
