There\u2019s a reason that prescriptions from your doctor\u2019s office are typically the most effective when it comes to treating stubborn skin<\/a> conditions like athlete\u2019s foot. But after a little bit of digging, we found that there may be an over-the-counter cream<\/a> formulated with prescription-level power that could save you a trip to the doctor to finally vanquish your itching, redness and flaking once and for all. <\/p>\n

Unsurprisingly, this aforementioned potent wonder is made by Lotrimin, a recognized and trusted name in the world of antifungal treatments. But, unlike other products in the brand\u2019s extensive lineup, Lotrimin Ultra promises to be a prescription-strength formula containing a 1% concentration of butenafine hydrochloride, a clinically proven antifungal ingredient for skin. There\u2019s also a series of trusted hydrators in the formula, like glycerin and white petroleum, to help heal cracked and compromised skin that is more susceptible to infection.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s an effective combination that promises to get rid of all the burning, redness, cracking and itching in just one week \u2014even in difficult areas like between the toes \u2014 while also preventing future fungal infections from developing. <\/p>\n

As one Amazon<\/a> reviewer said, after dealing with a case of athlete\u2019s foot on and off for six years, this was the only product that managed to clear it up in just two weeks, and it hasn\u2019t returned for eight months. \u201cIt has changed my life,\u201d they wrote. <\/p>\n

Another reviewer claimed they experienced relief from their symptoms of itching and burning within just a day or two.<\/p>\n

Lotrimin Ultra can also be used on other areas of the body, like beneath the bust line and the groin, to cure minor skin conditions like ringworm and jock itch. <\/p>\n

Promising Amazon reviews:<\/p>\n

\u201cI ended up contracting athletes foot on vacation in Myrtle beach roughly 6 years ago. I had it off & on the entire 6 years, but it never cleared up fully. I thought for sure I was just going to have it the rest of my life. I would buy all kinds of different anti-fungal creams. I tried one that came in a 5 pack and would use all of the bottles and ordered more like clock work. It would clear up for a short period of time and always come back. That is until I decided to bite the bullet and finally spend the money on one small cream. THIS CREAM. I used it as directed and it cleared up in about 2-4 weeks. I have not had athletes feet in 8 months. It has changed my life!! If you have had this issue too, please do yourself a favor and buy this. I am not one to leave reviews!!! 10 stars.\u201d \u2014 Torree<\/a><\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019ve battled athlete\u2019s foot on and off for years, and most over-the-counter creams take weeks to show results\u2014if at all.
The cream goes on smoothly, absorbs well, and doesn\u2019t leave a greasy residue. It\u2019s also prescription strength but available over the counter, which is a huge plus.
Yes, it\u2019s a little pricier than some other options, but trust me\u2014it\u2019s worth every penny for how fast and effectively it works. Just be consistent and use it exactly as directed.\u201d \u2014 Shanalee Williams<\/a><\/p>\n

\u201cWhy did you pick this product vs others? Lotrimin Ultra really works fast\u2014itching and burning started to calm down within a day or two. The cream is smooth, not greasy, and easy to apply. It cleared up the athlete\u2019s foot between my toes in a week like it promised. Definitely worth it if you\u2019re looking for quick relief.\u201d \u2014 Angela Dinwiddle<\/a><\/p>\n

\u201cI had athletes foot for about 7 years. I know what your thinking. \u201cWhy did you take so long to treat it!\u201d. Well I didn\u2019t think much of it to be honest. Til one day, I couldn\u2019t take it anymore. The itching, peeling of skin, cracking. So I looked up some products on here to help me get rid of my athletes foot. And I came across this one that had some really good reviews and seen results. And guys, LISTEN TO THOSE REVIEWS! That\u2019s what convinced me to buy this product. It\u2019s so simple to use. I applied it once in the morning and once at night. I did this for a couple weeks. And after those couple of weeks my athletes foot disappeared. This product is definitely worth it\u2019s price!\u201d \u2014 Haine<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"There\u2019s a reason that prescriptions from your doctor\u2019s office are typically the most effective when it comes to…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":31452,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[42],"tags":[19216,19214,19215,102,6591,1758,2458,56,54,55],"class_list":{"0":"post-31451","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-medication","8":"tag-athlete","9":"tag-foot-health","10":"tag-fungus","11":"tag-health","12":"tag-medication","13":"tag-shopping","14":"tag-skincare","15":"tag-uk","16":"tag-united-kingdom","17":"tag-unitedkingdom"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/31451","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=31451"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/31451\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/31452"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=31451"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=31451"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=31451"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
