    Antifungal cream, like Canestan (clotrimazole, so you can find cheaper generics), is obviously, only useful if it's caused by a fungal infection, which isn't always the case (friction rub, as mentioned above, will not be fungal). You also need to use it for at least a week after symptoms subside, particularly if you've had the problem for some time. If it's appeared only recently, try keeping the area dry and see if it heals first.

    Also, you could try and find a low dose steroidal cream/anti-fungal combo if available. The anti-inflammatory effects of the steroidal cream will alleviate some of the annoying discomfort, just don't use it long term. Clotrimazole is used sparingly twice daily on affected area

    Feedback: Canistan has been helpful. I apply it in the morning and evening. I apply Johnsons' Prickly heat during the day. Both good forum tips. Thanks

    My Family has always used Canesten (anti-fungal) It always works and can easily be found in near all Pharmacies. After you try that, you will never use any thing else. Applying Baby Powder and Aloe-Vera will not work. One is to dry but the other moistures. zinc oxide+calamine is the same combo of one dries and one moistures.
    Canesten offers a range of fungal sweat rash (candidal intertrigo) treatments which will effectively treat your fungal infection. They are easy to apply and penetrate your skin to stop fungal growth, destroy the fungi and relieve your fungal sweat rash symptoms such as irritated and itchy skin.

    Apply twice a day sparingly, Rash basically disappears with-in 72 hours most times even sooner .

    -For foot fungus, apply sparingly twice a day for 2 weeks.
    -Works wonderful on Jock-itch, apply twice, sparingly, for 3 days
    - Best for Female and Male Yeast infection. Internal for Females, external application for Males.
