Lamisil ointment (terbinafine) effectively targets several common fungal skin infections. Apply it twice daily to clean, dry skin, covering the affected area and a small surrounding region.
For Athlete’s foot (tinea pedis), maintain good foot hygiene: wash your feet daily, dry thoroughly, especially between toes, and wear breathable socks. Continue treatment for at least one week after symptoms clear to prevent recurrence.
- Ringworm (tinea corporis): Apply Lamisil ointment to the affected area and a small surrounding region. Expect improvement within a few days. Complete the full course of treatment, typically 2-4 weeks, even if the rash appears to have cleared. Jock itch (tinea cruris): Keep the affected area clean and dry. Apply Lamisil ointment twice daily to the affected area and surrounding skin. Good hygiene is vital. Complete the full course of treatment.
Remember, always follow the instructions on the Lamisil ointment package.
If your symptoms worsen or don’t improve after one week, consult a doctor. Avoid applying Lamisil to broken skin or open wounds. Some individuals may experience mild skin irritation. Discontinue use and consult a healthcare professional if irritation is significant.
Lamisil ointment is a topical treatment, meaning it works directly on the skin. It’s best suited for superficial fungal infections. For more severe or widespread infections, a doctor may prescribe oral medication.
