Resolve Tinea is a silicone-based tinea cream that treats a wide range of fungal conditions while providing a barrier that helps protect the skin from further irritation. It treats tinea - athlete's foot, jock itch and ringworm - pityriasis versicolor, thrush, and fungal infections where bacterial infection may also be present. 50g.
Why choose a silicone-based tinea cream
The silicone base is the differentiator. Most antifungals treat the fungus and stop there; this one also leaves a barrier over the skin, which matters because tinea thrives in exactly the warm, moist, chafed places that keep re-irritating themselves - between toes, in the groin, under a waistband. Treating the infection while shielding the skin addresses both halves of the problem.
It covers an unusually broad list for a single tinea cream: athlete's foot, jock itch and ringworm, plus pityriasis versicolor and thrush, and it is indicated where a bacterial infection may be present alongside the fungal one. That last point is practical - scratched, macerated tinea frequently is not purely fungal.
The instruction that actually decides the outcome is this: continue treatment for two weeks after the symptoms disappear. Tinea recurs overwhelmingly because people stop when the itch goes, while fungus remains in the skin. Apply it to the affected and surrounding skin twice daily on clean, thoroughly dried skin, and keep going past the point where it looks better.

Common uses
Athlete's foot from gyms, pools and work boots; jock itch in hot weather and after sport; ringworm picked up from pets or shared surfaces. Two things make a real difference alongside the cream: drying thoroughly - especially between the toes - and not using soap, which irritates already-inflamed skin. Cleanse with a soap alternative such as QV Gentle Wash instead. Solveasy Tinea Cream is the alternative antifungal we stock. Stocked with our everyday pharmacy and medical supplies.
tinea cream FAQs
How long should I use tinea cream for?
Apply twice daily and continue for two weeks after the symptoms have disappeared. This is the single most important instruction - fungus persists in the skin after the itch and redness settle, and stopping early is the main reason tinea comes straight back.
Why apply it to surrounding skin too?
Because the visible edge is not the true edge. Fungal infection extends beyond the area that looks affected, so treating only the obvious patch leaves an untreated ring that spreads back in. Cover the affected area and the skin around it.
What does the silicone base do?
It leaves a barrier on the skin that helps protect it from further irritation. Tinea occurs in moist, chafed areas that keep re-injuring themselves, so shielding the skin while the antifungal works helps break that cycle.
Can I use it for jock itch and ringworm?
Yes - athlete's foot, jock itch and ringworm are all forms of tinea and all listed uses, as are pityriasis versicolor and thrush. It is also suitable where a bacterial infection may be present alongside the fungal one.
Should I stop using soap?
On the affected area, yes - soap irritates inflamed skin and works against the treatment. Cleanse with a soap alternative instead, dry thoroughly (particularly between the toes), and change socks and towels daily.
When should I see a doctor?
If it does not improve after a couple of weeks of correct use, if it keeps returning, if the nails or scalp are involved, or if the skin is very inflamed, weeping or painful. Nail and scalp fungal infection usually needs oral treatment, and people with diabetes should have any foot infection assessed.
Always read the label and follow the directions for use. For external use only. Continue treatment for two weeks after symptoms disappear to reduce the chance of recurrence. Seek medical advice if the condition does not improve, recurs, involves the nails or scalp, or if the skin is very inflamed, weeping or painful. People with diabetes or reduced circulation should seek medical advice for any foot infection rather than self-treating.
