Lamisil is often thought of as a topical cream by consumers, but it is actually a white powder that can be mixed into a cream or powder. This medication is used to treat many different skin infections such as jock itch, athleteís foot, and other types of fungal infections such as ringworm that may affect people.

This medication has been on the market for quite some time, but in 2007 it was approved for generic production when the patent for exclusivity expired. During the same year the FDA noted that Lamisil was approved for the treatment of fungal infections in children from the age of four and up. In the case of children, the FDA recommends that granules are actually sprinkled on the food of children to treat ringworm of the scalp, which is especially difficult to treat through other methods.
