Used primarily as an antifungal agent in topical medications, especially for treating skin infections like athlete’s foot, ringworm, and other fungal conditions. It works by inhibiting the growth of fungi on the skin. Commonly found in over-the-counter creams, powders, and sprays due to its effectiveness and low irritation potential. Also used in some cosmetic and personal care products for its antimicrobial properties, helping to extend shelf life and prevent microbial contamination.
