Nystatin Cream (nystatin) is a potent antifungal medication used to treat topical fungal skin infections. It destroys Candida and Trichophyton species of fungus, responsible for the most common fungal infections.

Fungal infections can be unsightly, odorous, and produce pain, itching, inflammation and other symptoms that can be severe enough to disrupt day-to-day activities. Untreated, fungal infections can spread to other parts of the body and produce serious complications; systemic fungal infections can even be fatal in immunocompromised patients.

Fortunately fungal infections are easily managed with products like Nystatin Cream. This treatment is for external use only; it can be used around mucous membranes but should not be directly applied to them. Nor should it be applied to open wounds. Patients typically buy Nystatin Cream to treat:

• Intertriginous (skin fold) infections
• Jock itch
• Athlete's foot
• Nappy/diaper rash
• Yeast infections in the groin
• Various skin rashes and boils

Nystatin cream is not effective against bacterial or viral infections, or against all types of fungus. Note that while nystatin is often used to treat fungal infections in pets, clients should not buy Nystatin Cream for this purpose; the inactive ingredients may be harmful.

Getting Started with Nystatin Cream

Ideally any infection should be identified with laboratory tests prior to attempting to treat it, to ensure the ideal medication is used. If Nystatin cream is indicated, it very easy to apply:

• Clean and dry the infected skin.
• Apply the cream liberally over the infected area, extending a short way on to healthy skin, two or three times per day.
• Allow the cream at least 30 minutes to absorb before applying other skincare products to the area.
• Do not cover the application site with tight clothing or airtight dressings unless explicitly instructed to do so by a doctor. Loose, breathable clothing is fine.
• Continue treatment until the infection is resolved. If no significant improvements are seen after a week of treatment, consider alternative options.

Continuing treatment for several days after the infection appears to have cleared up will ensure any lingering fungi are destroyed and help prevent the development of resistant strains.

Most patients begin to see improvements within a day or two of starting treatment, but it may take a few weeks to fully resolve tough infections. If the infection worsens at any point, treatment should discontinue and a doctor be consulted.

A common problem with fungal infections is spreading it to other parts of the body or other people in the household. Likewise patients may be re-infected if coming in contact with contaminated surfaces. Bedding, clothing, or other materials that come into contact with infected skin should be washed frequently. If fingernails or toenails are infected, disinfect clippers, files or other tools after each use. Try to prevent infected skin from coming in direct contact with furniture upholstery or other surfaces that cannot be easily disinfected.

Other Nystatin Options

Choosing the right type of medication and administration method is important for fast resolution of a fungal infection. Patients thinking about buying Nystatin Cream may want to consider these other antifungal products:

• Nystaform includes both the antifungal nystatin and the antiseptic chlorhexidine.
• Nystaform HC includes nystatin and chlorhexidine, plus hydrocortisone to soothe itching and inflammation.
• Nystatin Oral Solution is ideal for oral thrush or other fungal infections of the mouth.
• Trimovate contains nystatin, the antibiotic oxytetracycline, and the synthetic steroid clobetasone. This product is designed to treat to inflammatory skin conditions, such as eczema, that are complicated by fungal or bacterial infection.
