The symptoms of skin infection, such as soreness or itching, should improve within a few days of using Clotriz 1% Dusting Powder. However, the signs such as scaling and redness may take longer to disappear. Even if you feel better do not stop using Clotriz 1% Dusting Powder before the duration advised by your doctor.

You are advised to use Clotriz 1% Dusting Powder for as long as it is recommended by your doctor. The type of infection determines the duration of treatment. In general, for tinea infection, the treatment is continued for 1 month and for candida infection, at least for 15 days.

However, if your child develops redness, burning sensation, and itching (which is severe in nature), stop using Clotriz 1% Dusting Powder and consult your doctor.

Avoid rubbing the affected areas too much and keep them clean and dry. Although, itching may want you to scratch, avoid scratching as it will damage the skin’s surface and cause the infection to spread further. Avoid sharing towels, bath mats, etc. with other people as you could spread the infection to them.
