    Red face Tinea treatment & pregnancy

    Hi

    Is there a treatment for tinea that you can use safely during pregnancy? I am now at 17 weeks.

    Thanks

    Kate

    I was told to use canesten cream for thrush while pregnant. I can't imagine why you couldn't use it on your feet to get rid of tinea.

    I think you can use Canesten - provided it's the regular one that you have to put on twice or three times a day for a couple of weeks.

    The other once-a-day or apply-once-only ones have an active ingredient in that's not recommended in Pg. Run it past your pharmacist while you're there to make sure you're getting the right one.
