How to use Canesten Bifonazole Once Daily Cream

• Before use, pierce the tube seal by inverting the cap over the end of the tube and press.
• Before applying the cream, your feet should be washed and dried thoroughly, especially between the toes.
• The cream should be applied thinly and evenly to the affected areas once daily, preferably at night before going to bed, and rubbed in gently
• Treatment should be continued for 2-3 weeks.

The symptoms of athlete’s foot, such as itching or soreness, should improve within a few days of treatment although signs such as redness and scaling may take longer to disappear. If symptoms do not improve within 7 days, consult your doctor or pharmacist

You can help the treatment to work if you follow these simple self-help tips:

• Although the infected area will itch, try not to scratch. Scratching will damage the surface of the skin and cause the infection to spread further.
• Keep the affected skin areas clean.
• Pay particular attention to drying the skin, including between the toes, but avoid excessive rubbing.
• Do not share towels, bath mats, etc. with other people as you could spread the infection to them.
• Always wash your hands after treating the infection to prevent it from spreading.
• Wash your socks, stockings and tights thoroughly in hot water to remove any shed skin or fungal spores.
• Change your footwear daily if possible.
