Ketoconazole 2% Cream for Athlete's Foot: Effective but Worth the Itch?

I've been struggling with athlete's foot for months, and my doctor finally prescribed Ketoconazole 2% Cream. I've heard it's pretty effective, but the burning and irritation are no joke. Has anyone else used this, and if so what was your experience? It's a bit of a toss-up between bearing the annoyance and wondering if there might be a better option out there.

I used Ketoconazole for jock itch and it worked wonders. The burning was annoying at first, but it went away after a few days. Stick with it!

The burning is pretty bad at first, but it goes away. Just make sure to apply a thin layer and not too often.

I've used it a few times and it always does the trick. Just be patient with the initial irritation.

I switched to a different cream after reading about the serious side effects. Better safe than sorry!

I've had athlete's foot before and this stuff is a lifesaver. It burns a bit but it's worth it.

I had to use it for ringworm and it was a game-changer. No more itchy, scaly skin!
