It is recommended that you use a mild steroid ointment like hydrocortisone cream/ointment in the morning and use Phytoral Ointment in the evening. You can then stop using the steroid cream gradually over 2-3 weeks.

You should use Phytoral Ointment for as long as advised by your doctor. Generally, it is to be used for 2-4 weeks for jock itch and sweat rash and 2-6 weeks for Athlete’s foot. Do not stop using it even if your symptoms have disappeared because the infection may reappear if not properly treated.
