You should continue treatment for at least a week after the symptoms have cleared up to make sure the infection is fully treated. Clotrimazole is not powerful enough to treat fungal nail infections or to clear painful and inflamed pityriasis.

So there’s a good chance that you, too, are battling itchiness, inflammation, cracked skin and nasty whiffs to your poor feet.
