Hi,

Thanks for your query.

Yes, you can use the Lysol spray.There would be no harm in using it.

If the causative organism (Tinea Pedis ) is not eliminated with the spray then you can go for MICANAZOLE ointment applied twice daily for three days to cure it completely.

Hope I answered your query.

Wish you good health.

The Lysol won't hurt the unborn baby? Can I get the medicine over the counter?

Hi,

No, Lysol is a milder dose disinfectant.It is not absorbed by the skin into the circulation.Hence , it does not cause any problem to the foetus.

Yes, you will get the ointment over the counter in any pharmacy.

Hope I cleared your doubts.
