A member asked:
Is there a time limit re: safety when using antifungal creams? my infection is reduced, but it has taken longer than the 2 weeks & is still there.

What kind?: What sort of fungal infection are we talking about? Jock itch and athlete's foot often take longer than 2 weeks to respond, and you can continue to use the antifungal cream as long as is necessary. If it still does not clear, or you have a fungal infection of the nails or other areas of the body, an oral antifungal medication may be necessary. That will have to be prescribed by your doctor.

No: That is okay. In fact use it for a few more days after it clears. Often times it an recur. If it doesn't clear thee are prescription strength antifungal's that you could also try.
