What is athlete’s foot?
Athlete’s foot is a fungal infection which occurs in the skin of your feet, usually starting between the toes.

This usually happens if your feet sweat a lot and you wear shoes that are too tight.
How does Lamisil Cream treat athlete’s foot?
Lamisil Cream contains the active ingredient terbinafine hydrochloride, which works as an antifungal agent. This means it targets the fungi which cause athlete’s foot, treating the cause of infection while also relieving itching and burning.
