Mild irritation can occur with Clotrimazole, but swelling, pain on pressure, and nerve-like pain are not typical for simple Tinea pedis and may suggest secondary infection or inflammation. You can stop the cream for a couple of days to see if irritation settles, but don?t leave the fungal infection untreated?switch to another antifungal if advised. It?s better to consult a doctor (dermatologist or general physician) to check for infection rather than a bone specialist.

  1. Side Effects Observation:

    • The symptoms you're experiencing (swelling and pain) might be uncommon side effects of Clocip cream.

    • Consider pausing use immediately and evaluate if symptoms improve within 1-2 days.
    • Consult your healthcare provider, especially if symptoms persist or worsen.

  3. Consultation Recommendation:

    • Seeing a dermatologist rather than a bone specialist may be more appropriate to assess possible reactions or other underlying skin issues.

  4. Precautionary Steps:

    • Monitor any additional symptoms, and avoid applying other topical treatments unless approved by a physician.
