Topiclo Ointment is effective against Trichophyton species which cause athlete’s foot, ringworm infection, and jock itch (fungal infection of the skin in the groin or buttocks). Additionally, it works well against yeast known as Candida which commonly causes vaginal thrush (infection caused by an overgrowth of yeast called Candida albicans).
The symptoms of skin infection, such as soreness or itching, should improve within a few days of using Topiclo Ointment. However, the signs such as scaling and redness may take longer to disappear. Even if you feel better do not stop using Topiclo Ointment before the duration advised by your doctor.

In general, for tinea infection, the treatment is continued for 1 month and for candida infection, at least for 15 days. Do not stop using Topiclo Ointment on your own even if you feel better as the infection may relapse as it takes some time to kill the fungus.
Topiclo Ointment is safe for children only if used as advised by the doctor. Although minor side effects may occur, they are often not troublesome. However, if your child develops redness, burning sensation, and itching (which is severe in nature), stop using Topiclo Ointment 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.
