Lamisil Antifungal Cream contains terbinafine 1% and treats athlete's foot, ringworm and jock itch. The thing worth knowing before you compare it with anything else on the shelf: it is applied once daily for a minimum of seven days, which is a much shorter course than most antifungal creams ask for. This is the 15g tube, a Schedule 2 pharmacy medicine, so no prescription is needed.
How to use Lamisil cream
- Clean and dry the affected area. Drying properly matters, because fungi need moisture and you are about to cover the area.
- Apply a thin layer to the affected skin and the surrounding area. The active edge of a tinea patch usually extends past what you can see, which is why the surrounding skin is part of the instruction rather than an optional extra.
- Rub in gently. A thin layer rubbed in is what is directed, not a thick smear left sitting.
- Once daily, for at least seven days. Keep going for the full course even once it looks and feels better.
- Wash your hands afterwards so you do not carry the infection somewhere else. Feet to groin is the classic route.
Why the course is only seven days
This is the practical difference between terbinafine and the other antifungals sold alongside it. Terbinafine holds in the outer layer of the skin, so the manufacturer's course is once daily for a minimum of seven days. The imidazole creams, such as the miconazole products we also stock, are directed twice daily and continued for two weeks after symptoms disappear to stop the infection returning.
That is a genuinely different commitment: roughly a week of one application a day, against several weeks of two. If you have abandoned antifungal treatments before because the course felt endless, the shorter one is the more realistic choice, and finishing a course is the thing that actually decides whether tinea comes back.
Whichever you pick, finish it. The itch settling is not the same as the fungus being gone, and stopping early is the single most common reason people find themselves treating the same infection three times in a year.
Lamisil or a miconazole cream: which antifungal
| Product | Active | Course |
|---|---|---|
| Lamisil (this one) | Terbinafine 1% | Once daily, minimum 7 days |
| Resolve Tinea Cream | Miconazole | Twice daily, continue 2 weeks after symptoms clear |
| Resolve Jock Itch | Miconazole, water-resistant base | Twice daily, formulated for the groin |
| SolvEasy Tinea Spray | Spray format | For feet and inside shoes where a cream is awkward |
For the groin specifically, the water-resistant base of the jock itch cream is built for sweat and friction in a way a general cream is not. For feet, a spray reaches between toes and into footwear more easily. We do not stock Lamisil Once, Lamisil tablets or Lamisil spray, so if one of those was specifically recommended to you, a pharmacy is the place to go.
What is athlete's foot?
Athlete's foot is tinea pedis, a fungal infection of the skin of the feet, most often starting in the damp skin between the toes. It typically looks like white, soggy, peeling skin in the toe webs, or dry scaling along the sole and sides of the foot, and it usually itches or stings. It spreads in exactly the places you would expect: changing rooms, pool surrounds, shared showers, and inside your own shoes.
It is the same family of fungi that causes ringworm on the body and jock itch in the groin, which is why one cream treats all three and why untreated feet so often reinfect the groin. Treating both at once is the point rather than an optional extra.
Nothing clears it instantly, despite that being one of the most searched questions about it. What works is applying the treatment properly, finishing the course, and keeping feet dry, changing socks, and letting shoes air between wears.
When to see a doctor instead
- The skin is cracked, weeping, blistered or looks infected, or the foot is red and swollen.
- You have diabetes or a weakened immune system, where foot infections warrant earlier attention.
- It has not improved after completing the course as directed.
- The nails are involved, thickened or discoloured. Fungal nail infection is not treatable with a skin cream and needs a different approach.
- It is a child, or you are pregnant or breastfeeding. Check with a pharmacist first, and follow the pack for any age restriction.

Lamisil cream FAQs
How long do I use Lamisil cream for?
Once daily for a minimum of seven days, per the manufacturer. Keep applying for the full course even after the skin looks and feels normal, because the itch settling is not the same as the infection being cleared.
What is the difference between Lamisil and a miconazole cream?
Mostly the course. Lamisil is terbinafine, applied once daily for at least seven days. Miconazole creams such as Resolve are applied twice daily and continued for two weeks after symptoms clear. Both treat the same infections; the shorter course is easier to finish, and finishing is what decides whether it comes back.
Is Lamisil the same as terbinafine?
Terbinafine is the active ingredient and Lamisil is the brand. Generic terbinafine 1% creams contain the same active at the same strength. When comparing products, compare the active and its percentage rather than the name on the front.
Can I use it for jock itch and ringworm too?
Yes. The manufacturer lists athlete's foot, ringworm and jock itch, because they are caused by the same family of fungi. For the groin specifically, a cream with a water-resistant base designed for sweat and friction may hold up better through the day.
What kills athlete's foot instantly?
Nothing does, and it is worth saying plainly because it is one of the most searched questions about it. An antifungal applied correctly and for the full course is the treatment. What speeds recovery is keeping the feet dry, changing socks daily, letting shoes air between wears, and treating both feet even if only one looks affected.
Can I use it on fungal nail infection?
No. A skin cream does not penetrate the nail plate, so fungal nail infections need a different treatment altogether and often a long one. If the nails are thickened, crumbling or discoloured, see a pharmacist or doctor about what actually works there.
Why does athlete's foot keep coming back?
Usually one of three things: the course was stopped as soon as the itch settled, the shoes and socks were never dealt with so you reinfect yourself, or the groin was treated while untreated feet kept seeding it. Finish the course, treat both areas at once if both are affected, and put socks on before underwear.
Do you stock Lamisil Once or Lamisil tablets?
No. We stock the 15g cream. Lamisil Once, Lamisil spray and Lamisil tablets are separate products with their own directions, and tablets in particular are a different decision made with a doctor. A pharmacy can advise on those.
Sources. Active ingredient, indications and directions are from Lamisil Australia, the manufacturer's own site. Last reviewed 17 September 2026.
Always read the label and use only as directed. For external use only. If symptoms persist after completing the course, worsen, or the skin is broken or weeping, see your pharmacist or doctor. This information is a general guide and is not medical advice.
