Uses of Zolacort 1 % / 1 % Cream

Zolacort 1 % / 1 % Cream is used to treat fungal skin infections that are red, inflamed and itchy, such as athlete’s foot, jock itch (a fungal infection of the groin) and candida rashes in skin folds. The steroid helps settle the itch and inflammation quickly while the antifungal clears the infection. It is not intended for use on the face.

How Zolacort 1 % / 1 % Cream works

Clotrimazole is an antifungal that damages the outer membrane of fungal and yeast cells, causing them to leak and die. Hydrocortisone is a mild corticosteroid that reduces redness, swelling and itching by calming the skin’s inflammatory response.

Possible side effects

When applying Zolacort 1 % / 1 % Cream, a few people notice:

• Mild burning or stinging
