Forever wash your hands thoroughly before and after applying Lotrifung Mouth Paint. If you are using the cream for an infected foot, wash and dry your feet thoroughly before applying the cream, especially between the toes, before applying the cream. Lotrifung Mouth Paint should be applied thinly and evenly and rubbed gently onto the affected areas two or three times daily.

For how long should I apply Lotrifung Mouth Paint? Can I stop if the symptoms have completely disappeared?

The duration of treatment depends on the type of infection. In general, the treatment is continued for 1 month for tinea infection and for at least 15 days for candida infection.

Franka infection can be cured with early diagnosis and treatment. However, if left untreated then it can result in a serious infection.
