Econazole Nitrate 1% Cream 85gm: My lifesaver for athlete's foot! Or should I be worried about side effects?
I've been using Econazole Nitrate 1% Cream for a few weeks now to treat my athlete's foot, and it's been a game-changer. My skin started to clear up in days, and the itching finally stopped. However, I've been reading about the possible side effects and I'm a bit worried. Has anyone else experienced any of these issues, or should I just keep applying the cream as directed?
I'm also curious about the red, swollen, blistered, or peeling skin with or without fever. Is that normal? I haven't experienced that, but it sounds scary.
The FDA side effects page has quite a list. If you have any info, please share!
I really, really don't want to have an allergic reaction.
I had hives, and then blistered skin. I thought maybe it was a piece of clothing or some thing, but then I realized it was the cream. No more for me
I've had great luck with this cream, but I did have some minor irritation initially. I talked to my doctor, and she said to just keep using it and be patient. The irritation went away after a few days, and the fungus cleared up.
I've seen severe reactions, don't mess with these kind of things.
I wouldn't worry too much about the side effects. They're rare, and if you do experience them, just stop using the cream and talk to your doctor.
