terrasil Tinea Versicolor Antifungal Treatment Cream Max, 7oz Jar | Clinically Proven 1% Clotrimazole. Treats Most Ringworm & Fungal Infections for Men & Women, Soothing Itchy Skin Relief

I’ve had severe tinea versicolor over most of my body for about 2 years. I figured I would try this product before going to a doctor as a last resort. It started working after just ONE treatment! Applied a thin layer to every area before bed and the next day it had made a noticeable difference. I’m so thrilled that my skin is almost clear. There’s no bad smell and the cream feels so hydrating and non greasy. It’s 100% worth the money.

Bottom line: If you battle with tinea versicolor, give this a whirl. I have had to deal with it for 20 years and this was the fastest topical treatment and more effective than other "prescription strength" topical solutions. The only thing as quick as this was the oral medication, but that is hard on the liver. More detail: I have only used this for treatment on my arms so far. I used this in conjunction with the Terrasil Tinea soap. My method: Shower in the morning, allowing the soap suds stay on the skin for several minutes before rinsing. After fully dried, I applied a thin layer of this ointment. In the evening, I washed with the soap and again allowing the suds to sit for a few minutes before rinsing. Again, after fully dried apply a thin layer of ointment. Right before going to bed, I would blot the remaining oil to prevent it from staining bedding. I do recall reading at least one other reviewer that stated this caused their tinea versicolor to spread. I can tell you that I initially thought this was happening to me, but I continued using and it all went away. At least in my case, I believe the "spreading" was only some tinea versicolor that wasn't initially as visible to become visible while it was getting treated. Pros: Quick - got rid of the Tinea Versicolor in just under a week. No walking around smelling like sulfur as with some topical treatments. Not a prescription so easy to get. Cons: The ointment will stain some fabrics which is why I haven't tried it in other areas. The treated area will turn "brown" when exposed to the sun. The color will go away. Questions for the Manufacturer: Instructions/answers could be clearer. Because of the oiliness and the staining, can this product be as effective if it were blotted dry after a period of time? Such as 'apply a thin layer and can be blotted dry after an hour'. Just an example if you know how long it needs to be in place to be effective. Is the oil portion of this essential to the effectiveness? It would be great if you had a cream or something that could just be rubbed in and not worry about an oil that stains fabric or rubs off on whatever is touched.

Worked better than popular brands

Too pricey for the amount. It’s a high quality product but way too expensive especially if you need to apply it daily to a large area such as your back.

I've had Tinea Versicolor since I was 13. Over the years it hadn't been that noticeable and would eventually go away on it's own UNTIL I got pregnant. During my pregnancy it covered my entire neck, shoulders, back, and creases of my arms. After I gave birth I'd hoped it go away but it spread to under my breast and under arms. It's made me ridiculously self conscious and I thought I'd have to live with it being this server forever. I tried coconut oil, tea tree soap, African soap, tea tree oil, sealsin blue, and anti fungus creams. Terrasil is amazing and within a week of using it, it's cleared up instantly. Everyday you can see the differnce. Terrasil has got the consistency of Cresco and smells like used cooking oil as well. It's greasy. The first time I used it I lathered it on my body. I smelled like a french fry the rest of the day. Needless to say you don't need to use a lot. So this little tube will last awhile. Right now I'm washing with peppermint castille soap, which I'm sure is helping also then I take a small amount of Terrasil and rub it on my problem areas. I'll definitely buy again, it works!

This tinnea product may work well for some. But you need to know that it is very sticky with beeswax if you want to live with that on your skin, it stays on a very long time. As I live in the tropics I didn't particularly want this coating on my skin in the heat during the day, although the odor is pretty inoffensive. It is suggested to be applied morning and night but I didn't want to get it on my sheets either. So it's not the best concoction for my lifestyle and without applying it regularly I can't attest to its effectiveness. I cannot distinguish between sun damage (small scars) and tinnea, although use of selsun gold and tinnea soaps seem to have diminished the white spots somewhat. I am going to try the liquid applicator of tinnea treatment to see if that works better for my situation, although iving in the tropics may mean I'm a spotted person for life. Also this product began to smell rancid after months at tropical temp, so I put it in the fridge but now it seems stronger--not a deal breaker, it is still a pretty neutral odor once it is on, but it may work better for someone who vacations in the tropics and picks up tinnea and then uses this product in a more temperate climate. And who hasn't had it for many years. And isn't in their seventies with sun damage.

This cream is easy to apply and spreads well on the skin. It helps calm itching and irritation pretty quickly. The formula feels gentle and doesn’t leave a sticky residue. Overall a solid antifungal treatment.

I’ve been using this for the past week and it has not worked. Definitely not worth the money given it hasn’t worked for me and also the size. It is moisturizing but also feels a bit greasy.

product is overpriced. It is not "6X as fast". I bought this item in December. In February, there are still no results. Just not worth it.

Go see your DR instead

Product doesn’t work well as I needed a prescription from my doctor to help with the issues.
