LUZU CREAM (LULICONAZOLE)
Treat Athlete’s Foot, Jock Itch, and Ringworm with Luzu Cream
Luzu Cream or generic Luliconazole is a topical azole antifungal cream prescribed for treating athlete’s foot (tinea pedis), jock itch (tinea cruris), and ringworm (tinea corporis). These are all common fungal infections caused by dermatophytes that live on our skin, hair, and nails and thrive in warm, moist areas. Fungal infections can also be picked up in community pool or shower areas, wearing damp foot wear, and coming into direct contact with an infected person or pet or items they have used like nail files, clippers, razors, and towels or bedding. The generic alternative is not manufactured by the company that makes the brand product.
How Azole Antifungal Creams Work
Once applied as directed, Luzu Cream will be absorbed into your skin cells and then work to inhibit a certain enzyme that the fungi need to convert lanosterol to ergosterol. Without ergosterol, the fungal membranes develop holes and the contents leak out while other substances seep in and the fungus cannot grow or reproduce. It is important that you apply Luzu Cream for the time period specified or you may become reinfected.
More Information About Tinea Infections
Athlete’s foot is usually contracted from walking barefoot around shower, locker room floors, and swimming pool decks where the areas are warm and moist and fungus can survive and multiply and possibly go home with you and cause the skin on your feet and between your toes to itch, and burn, and can affect your toenails as well. Jock itch occurs from the warm sweaty area of the groin that your own fungi that lives on your skin can flourish and cause the area to itch and become red. Ringworm has nothing to do with a type of worm but is named this due to the raised ring-shape this fungal infection takes on. All of these are contagious and affect males and females.
Before Luzu Cream is Prescribed to You
Tell your doctor if you are pregnant, may become pregnant, or are breast feeding before using Luzu Cream to be certain if it is safe for your unborn or nursing baby. If you are using other topical creams, lotions, or salves for other skin conditions, ask your doctor how long to wait after applying Luzu Cream before using other products on your skin.
Luzu Cream Precautions
Wash your hands before and after applying Luzu Cream to avoid spreading the infection to other skin areas, unless you are treating your hands. Keep all topical and oral medications out of children’s reach and never share with anyone else.
