| disartain's Full Review: Lotrimin AF Antifungal Athlete's Foot Liquid Spray |
“Don’t get in that mud puddle you’ll get athletes feet!” That’s what granny used to say. Oops, sorry that should be Ringworm. I didn’t find out until I was grown that ringworm wasn’t a worm but a fungus. I always avoided puddles.
Athletes foot on the other hand is caused by, you got it, a fungus. Maybe that saying of grannies did make since after all. Most people pick up Athlete’s Foot from walking barefoot in showers, pools or other places where many people congregate. If you wear tight shoes and your feet get sweaty you are more at risk for picking it up in a public place.
The foot can itch and burn a well as the toes. When my grandson complained of these symptoms I said, let me look at your feet. He complied and sure enough, he had the dreaded nasty fungus, probably from wearing rented skates at the skating rink. How to treat it, I used to use Blistosol but it burned and I haven’t seen it in stores in years.
His dad went out and bought Desenex antifungal powder See review on this later. It did not work after using a couple of weeks. I sent hubby to the drugstore for Lotrimin AF Antifungal liquid spray.
Ingredients from Can
• Active = Miconazole nitrate 2%
• Inactive=alcoholSD{17%}, Cocamide DEA, Isobutane,
Propylene glycole,
• locopherol{vitamin E}
Lotrimin AF Antifungal liquid spray treats Athletes foot, Ringworm, Jock itch. It helps cracking, itching, burning.
The bottle weighs in at 5.3 oz or 150 gm. It is just the right size to fit in your hand. The bottle states not to use on children under two years old.
Bottle comes in Cream, Powder spray, and dedorant powder spray.
Athletes Foot is caused by fungus, leaves cracks between the toes, and is contagious. It spreads to other toes and people. The cracks, weep a clear fluid or pus, and burn, you are generally uncomfortable. When using Lotrimin AF, spray affected area morning and night. Wash and dry feet first, hey, some people may not know that. Use the Lotrimin AF Antifungal liquid spray for four weeks if you need to.
Always wear shoes that let your feet breathe, leather is good, and clean socks, I have found out that wearing white socks helps, I don’t know why but it does. Wearing tight shoes or tennis shoes that cause the feet to sweat a lot should be stopped. Find and wear shower shoes at home and in the gym or PE. Now don’t shake your head I don’t know where to find shower shoes either, I‘ve never looked for them.
Ringworm is a fungus; some people still think it’s a worm. It starts as an itchy place that usually forms a red ring slightly raised; it does look like a worm curled up under the skin. It itches, burns and can become really messy and weepy with clear fluid or pus it spreads rapidly to other areas. Use Lotrimin AF twice a day for four weeks for ringworm. Please explain to your kids that it is not really a worm. Keep the area clean and dry. Lotrimin AF usually clears this up quickly.
Jock Itch Thrives usually on men but women can have it too, it just isn’t called Jock Itch, I have heard some women call it Crotch Rot, Shhh! you did not hear that from me! Anyway, it’s a fungus that thrives on warm moist areas of the body. It itches, weeps fluid, burns, and is very uncomfortable. Use Lotrimin AF for two weeks using the same steps as for the other ailments.
After clearing up Athletes Foot, Jock itch, Crotch rot, ringworm there are some things you can do to help prevent it.
Wear cotton underwear or boxer shorts, any natural material and avoid nylon or man made fibers, as they tend to create moisture. Wear something with room to give. Wash, dry, change a couple of times a day if possible, and make sure you dry the area well. Moisture is a ripe playground for the bacteria. Wash your feet and dry then use some type of powder in your shoes to keep them dry. Change socks daily.
My Experience with Lotrimin AF
My little toe started to burn and at night when I removed my shoes, it felt raw and moist. I checked it out and sure enough, I had that bad, bad, word that is bandied about in men’s locker rooms everywhere Athletes Foot.
I started to wash and dry my foot and toes twice a day and then spray with the Lotrimin AF Antifungal liquid spray the spray is cool when it hits my toes. It dries quickly and has a smells slightly metallic and this dissipates quickly. The spray does not leave a sticky residue and seems to absorb right away. It stops the burning and relieves the raw feeling that comes with the condition. I throw on clean socks and I’m ready until bedtime.
My Last Words
Lotrimin AF Antifungal liquid spray is a step up from using Blistosol that burned like fire. The treatment was worse then the condition. Lotrimin is easy to apply, does not burn open areas, dries quickly, and does not have an unpleasant smell.
