Clotrimazole and Zinc Oxide
A combination topical formulation containing Clotrimazole (an imidazole antifungal) and Zinc Oxide (a skin barrier protectant). Clotrimazole targets and destroys fungal cell membranes to eliminate the infection, while Zinc Oxide forms a physical protective barrier on the skin, shielding it from wetness, friction, and irritants like urine and feces, thereby promoting healing.
