Fluconazole is an antifungal which is used to treat a number of conditions including thrush, jock itch, athletes foot and ringworm.
Fungal infections rarely clear up on their own. Leaving a fungal infection untreated can cause recurrent infections or increase the risk of the infection spreading to other parts of the body or other people.
In many cases, infections occur when natural fungi and yeasts overgrow. Other times, they can be contracted from other people with the infection or from surfaces contaminated with fungi or yeast. The latter is a common way in which athletes foot can spread.
