Cream showdown: which antifungal works best for jock itch?
NCT ID NCT07441005
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tested two antifungal creams—oxiconazole and clotrimazole—against each other in 386 adults with jock itch (tinea cruris). The goal was to see which one better relieved itching and redness. Both creams are already used for fungal skin infections, so this trial aimed to find out if one is a better option.
