Description

Sulconazole is used to treat infections caused by a fungus. It works by killing the fungus or preventing its growth.

Sulconazole is applied to the skin to treat the following:

• ringworm of the body (tinea corporis);
• ringworm of the foot (tinea pedis; athlete's foot);
• ringworm of the groin (tinea cruris; jock itch);
• ``sun fungus'' (tinea versicolor; pityriasis versicolor).

Sulconazole may also be used for other conditions as determined by your doctor.
