Yes. Athlete's foot can be spread by direct contact with infected skin or objects such as towels, floors, or showers. So keeping your skin clean, as well as bathrooms and floors, is important. Bathe or shower daily with warm water and soap. Be sure to dry completely, especially your feet in the areas between the toes. Do not use the same towel to dry infected and non-infected areas, and wash towels with detergent, bleach, and hot water. Wear clean cotton socks every day. If possible, do not wear the same pair of shoes every day. Avoid walking barefoot, especially in bathrooms, locker rooms, gyms, on carpeting, and in public bathing areas. Instead of going barefoot in the locker room at the gym, or the pool, wear a pair of flip-flops.

Yes. Fungal infections can be spread, among other places, in the bathtub, shower, clothing, or towels. Regularly use a disinfecting cleaner for the tub or shower. Wash clothing and towels with detergent, bleach, and hot water to help reduce the spread of infection.

Lamisil^AT® Cream treatment takes only 1 week of treatment for athlete's foot between the toes. It takes 2 weeks of treatment to treat athlete's foot on the bottom and/or the sides of the foot, which is characterized by dryness, thickening, peeling, or cracking of the skin. This condition may be accompanied by burning and itching.

Adults and children ages 12 and over can use Lamisil^AT® Cream. For children under 12 years of age, ask a doctor.

Side effects are rare and are like the symptoms of the skin disease you are treating. If you experience an increase in the redness, itching, burning, blistering, swelling, or oozing of the skin, stop applying this product and see a doctor.

First, wash the infected skin and surrounding areas with soap and water and dry completely. Do not cover the treated skin with any bandages. Wash your hands with soap and water after touching the infected skin so that you do not spread the infection on yourself, or to others.

For athlete's foot: Wear well-fitting, ventilated shoes. Change shoes and socks at least once daily.

If athlete's foot is present between the toes only: Apply between the toes and surrounding areas twice a day (morning and night) for 1 week or as directed by a doctor.

If athlete's foot is present on the bottom or sides of the foot: Apply to the bottom or sides of the foot and surrounding areas twice a day (morning and night) for 2 weeks, or as directed by a doctor.

Many get relief from their symptoms after 1 week of treatment. Apply cream as directed. Your skin may continue to show some of the signs of infection — such as thickening of the skin, drying, or peeling — until the outer layer of the treated skin naturally replaces itself. Skin replacement takes longer on some parts of the body than others. If you do not see any improvement within 4 weeks for athlete's foot, you should see a doctor.

Lamisil^AT® Cream should not be used:

• on nails or scalp
• in or near the mouth or the eyes
• for vaginal yeast infections
