Drug NameLotrisone (Clotrimazole and Betamethasone) Drug UsesLotrisone is used for treating certain fungal skin infections, including ringworm, athlete's foot, and jock itch. It also relieves redness and itching associated with infection. How TakenUse Lotrisone as directed by your doctor. Check the label on the medicine for exact dosing instructions.

When applying to the groin, wear loose-fitting clothing.

If you are using Lotrisone in the groin area, use only for 2 weeks and apply the lotion sparingly. Wear loose-fitting clothing. Notify your doctor if your condition persists after 2 weeks.
