The Bottom Line

We have written this review to show Boots Pharmaceuticals Antifungal Cream’s ability to help treat many fungal skin diseases such as ringworm. Also, it is not a costly treatment. However, it does not seem like a product that is able to treat more serious skin infections. There is also a lack of real guarantee with this product in that you can only return products that have not been used. This doesn’t give you much of a chance to try the product. The long list of side effects and the lack of guarantee are reasons to look at other alternatives on the market that may be safer to use.
