Baza Antifungal Barrier Cream vs Lotrimin AF Clotrimazole Ringworm Cream

Buy Baza if the rash sits in a skin fold that stays damp, such as under a diaper or in the groin, because its zinc oxide base both treats the fungus and shields the skin. Buy Lotrimin AF if you have plain ringworm on an arm, leg or trunk and want a light cream that rubs in and dries. Both use proven antifungals (miconazole 2% versus clotrimazole 1%) and both cure most cases with regular use. Baza has far fewer ratings but a higher average, and owners call it the best barrier cream they have found; Lotrimin has a much larger track record and is the more familiar name.

• Choose the Baza Antifungal Barrier Cream if the infection is in a moist fold, comes with incontinence, or you need a cream that stays put and protects skin while it treats.
• Choose the Lotrimin AF Ringworm Cream if you have ringworm on ordinary skin and want an odorless, greaseless cream that absorbs quickly and is safe for kids over 2.
