Generic or over-the-counter antifungal creams, such as clotrimazole or miconazole, are economical and effective treatments for most fungal infections on the waist and other skin areas. For fungal infections in the ear, consult your doctor for specific antifungal ear drops, as applying standard creams or drops in the ear canal can be harmful.
