Since my daughters had it so bad I can definitely relate! If you're treating a human with the Lotrimin, you have to keep using it for a good two full weeks. That's a little difficult to do because once it's gone, it's hard to remember where to put the cream but that is a crucial part of the treatment. We are SO lucky they didn't get any spots in their hair!
