Cloticap is a Clotrimazole 1.00% w/w dusting powder, sort of specially made to help treat and prevent common fungal infections. It effectively eases the itching, redness, burning, irritation, and that general discomfort people feel from fungal growth, at the same time it keeps the affected area dry and sort of fresh. The dusting powder soaks up the extra moisture and sweat, so the environment becomes less friendly for the fungi to grow. Also, it's a lightweight, non-greasy formula that spreads pretty evenly across the skin, which is why it can be used daily, under medical supervision.
Clotrimazole itself is a broad-spectrum antifungal agent. It acts on multiple fungi that can cause skin infections like athlete's foot, ringworm, jock itch, and candidiasis. The regular use of this medicine helps to eliminate the infection, prevent the recurrence, and promote healthy skin.
