Oxiconazole topical is an antifungal medication. Oxiconazole topical prevents fungus from growing on your skin.
Oxiconazole topical is used to treat skin infections such as athlete's foot, jock itch, and ringworm.

Do not use bandages or dressings that do not allow air to circulate to the affected area (occlusive dressings) unless otherwise directed by your doctor. Wear loose-fitting clothing (preferably cotton).
Do not use oxiconazole topical if you have had an allergic reaction to it in the past.
Wash your hands before and after using this medication.
Clean and dry the affected area. Apply the cream or lotion once or twice daily as directed for 2 to 4 weeks.

Do not use bandages or dressings that do not allow air circulation over the affected area (occlusive dressings) unless otherwise directed by your doctor. A light cotton-gauze dressing may be used to protect clothing.

An overdose of oxiconazole topical is unlikely to occur. If you do suspect that a much larger than normal dose has been used, or that oxiconazole topical has been ingested, contact an emergency room or a poison control center.
Avoid wearing tight-fitting, synthetic clothing that doesn't allow air circulation. Wear loose-fitting clothing made of cotton and other natural fibers until the infection is healed.
