Any issues with clotrimazole causing a c. diff infection?
I just developed a case of athlete's foot. I was going to use clotrimazole on in it, but before I do I'd like to know if it could cause a c. diff infection.

I have not heard of any antifungals causing issues. In fact, I am currently taking one for the next 3 weeks due to an infection.
But, it's always good to check!

I have been told that antifungals do not pose a threat, but you might ask a pharmacist or doctor.
