Does Clotrimazole Cause Rashes?
I recently began applying Clotrimazole topical solution, USP, 1% to my toe nails to treat a fungus. I am experiencing a rash or rather bumps on my thighs and around the area where my belt fits. Benedryl relieves this condition. Could the Clotrimazole be causing this?

Hello,
Clotrimoxazole can cause allergic rash as well as every other substances or drug you can take. The best way to treat it is to stop taking Clotrimazole and use antihistamines such Benadryl or Citerizine. If you see any swelling in mouth and face go to ER for epinephrine and Prednisone injections.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Wishing you all the best.

Hello,
I think you are hypersensitive to Clotrimazole and you should try another anti-fungal medication. Stop using the Clotrimazole and use Benadryl for some days until symptoms disappear. Take an appointment with your doctor to get another anti-fungal medication.
