Crème antifongique TESEU : hydrate en profondeur, apaise la teigne et les démangeaisons, lot de 2

TESEU Antifungal Cream 2-Pack contains clotrimazole 1% with tea tree oil for athlete’s foot, ringworm, and fungal infections. Two 3.53oz/100g tubes, twice-daily application for 4 weeks.

Application Protocol

Wash and dry the affected area. Apply a thin layer to the rash and 2cm of surrounding skin. Rub in until absorbed. Repeat twice daily for 4 weeks. Continue for 1 week after symptoms clear. Cochrane review data (21 trials, n=2,326) found clotrimazole cured tinea infections in 80% of cases at 4 weeks versus 47% for placebo.

Athlete’s Foot Treatment

Athlete’s foot (tinea pedis) affects 15% of the UK population. T. rubrum causes 80% of cases. Infection thrives between toes in warm, moist environments. Clotrimazole 1% cream applied twice daily achieves 80% cure at 4 weeks. Dry feet thoroughly, especially between toes, before application. Treat all infected areas simultaneously to prevent reinfection.

Ringworm Cream: Treatment Protocol

Ringworm (tinea corporis) appears as circular, red, scaly patches with central clearing. Apply clotrimazole 1% twice daily to the rash and 2cm beyond the visible border. Continue for 2-4 weeks. The infection spreads via skin contact, contaminated surfaces, and household pets. 80% cure rate at 4 weeks. Treat all affected areas and pets simultaneously.

Fungal Infection Cream: Coverage

Clotrimazole 1% treats all dermatophyte infections: tinea pedis (athlete’s foot), tinea cruris (jock itch), tinea corporis (ringworm), and cutaneous candidiasis. The broad-spectrum azole antifungal inhibits ergosterol synthesis in fungal cell membranes. Apply to each affected area separately with clean hands. The 2-pack allows separate tubes for different body areas.

Deep Moisturizing and Skin Barrier

Fungal infections compromise the stratum corneum barrier, increasing recurrence risk. The cream’s moisturizing base (glycerin, aloe vera) restores skin hydration and barrier function. A 2018 dermatology study showed barrier repair reduced fungal recurrence from 22% to 14% at 12 months. Apply to clean, dry skin for maximum absorption.

Tea Tree Oil Antifungal Evidence

Tea tree oil at 10% concentration demonstrated 64% clinical cure rate for tinea pedis (n=158, Australasian Journal of Dermatology, 2002). Terpinen-4-ol disrupts fungal cell membranes at 0.25% v/v. TESEU pairs clotrimazole with tea tree oil for dual antifungal action. The botanical formula supports gentler application suitable for sensitive skin.

2-Pack Value and Multi-Site Treatment

Fungal infections often affect multiple body sites simultaneously. The 2-pack allows assigning one tube per area: tube 1 for feet (athlete’s foot), tube 2 for body (ringworm). This prevents cross-contamination between sites. Each 100g tube provides approximately 200 applications, covering 4-6 weeks of twice-daily treatment.

Preventing Fungal Skin Recurrence

Recurrence occurs in 22% of cases within 12 months. Prevention: wash socks and underwear at 60°C, alternate shoes daily, dry skin thoroughly, wear flip-flops in communal areas, treat concurrent nail fungus (30% co-infection), and continue treatment for 1 week after symptoms clear. T. rubrum survives in shoes for up to 12 months.

When to Consult a GP

See a GP if: symptoms worsen after 7 days, no improvement after 4 weeks, the infection spreads rapidly, you have diabetes or immune deficiency, or bacterial superinfection occurs (yellow crusting, increased pain). Extensive or resistant infections may require oral antifungals (terbinafine 250mg daily).
