You can't get from Amazon but we got some online from Lloyd's Pharmacy

Although their online service was crap and they sent out late so I'd potentially look elsewhere. But you should be able to get it from an online pharmacy.

How old is dd? Do you already have any cream for thrush/ athletes foot, like canesten/ clotrimazole? You can use this, I certainly have for my child. (I've also used for a baby's fungal nappy rash with paediatrician's approval.)

Thanks.

She's 11. I have some from 4/5 years ago in the cupboard but I'm assuming it's out of date.

I have major anxiety and really don't want to ask at the pharmacy. Obviously I take her to the doctors / hospital. She said she's had it months. Luckily she has her own towel.

You could try tea tree oil diluted. It's anti fungal and got rid of it for me, dd and husband. Test a small patch just in case of a reaction to it.

Order it from an online chemist. You can get it privately through many of them now.

Can you get to a supermarket? They'll probably have it on the shelf. Or if at pharmacy you can ask for canesten athletes foot cream, if you don't want to say ringworm. It's all the same product - 1% clotrimazole, but might have different prices due to marketing.

Coconut oil worked for my DD.

Miconazole (similar to clotrimazole) is another good antifungal product, usually branded as Daktacort.
