, you can only get the low potency steroids. RE OTC antifungals, clotrimazole (Canesten) is very popular here, especially for thrush! You can also buy a single OTC fluconazole (Diflucan) tablet for thrush, it's pretty expensive though.

For a recurring fungus, I am using a cream that combines miconazole with some cortisone. The Canesten seems to have lost its efficacy. In a tropical climate like this, where every species of bacteria, fungus, and other skin parasites lurk, you can make money hand over foot being a dermatologist.
