Area of application

Athlete's foot is widespread and is one of the most common skin diseases.In Germany, around 20% of the population is affected by this contagious fungal disease, which usually begins with reddened skin and severe itching between the toes.If an athlete's foot infection is not treated, it can spread to other parts of the body.One of the most common consequences of untreated athlete's foot is infection with nail fungus.Active ingredients that can kill a wide variety of skin fungi have proven effective in combating the pathogens.Selergo 1% cream contains the fungicidal ingredient ciclopirox olamine, which attacks fungal cells not only from the outside but also from the inside.This not only prevents the fungi from growing, but also reliably kills them.Selergo 1% cream is well tolerated by the skin and is already suitable for fungal treatment in school children aged 6 and over.
