Canesten 1% Cream
What is Canesten 1% Cream?
Canesten cream can be used to treat fungal skin infections such as ringworm, athlete's foot, fungal nappy rash and fungal sweat rash. It is also used to relieve irritation of the vulva and labia (external thrush) or the end of the penis, which may be associated with thrush.
How does Canesten Cream treat fungal skin infections like nappy rashes?
Canesten Cream is made with a powerful antifungal ingredient that directly fights the fungi and bacteria that's caused the infection outbreak.
If you are unsure whether you (or your baby if treating nappy rash) have one of these fungal skin infections, seek the advice of your doctor or pharmacist.
