Clotrimazole is an antifungal medicine from the imidazole (azole) group. It kills or stops the growth of the fungi and yeasts that cause many skin and genital infections. It comes in several forms: a cream for the skin, a liquid (solution) or spray, a cream put inside the vagina, pessaries (soft tablets put into the vagina) and, in some countries, lozenges that melt in the mouth. Many forms can be bought from a pharmacy, while some need a prescription.

- Thrush on the skin, including fungal sweat rash in skin folds (intertrigo)
- Athlete's foot (fungal infection between the toes and on the feet)
- Ringworm on the body and jock itch (fungal infection in the groin)
- Nappy rash caused by a fungal infection
- Some fungal ear infections (using the liquid form)
