For athlete's foot, jock itch, and ringworm, use once a day for one week. For yeast infections (pityriasis versicolor), use twice a day for one week.

First, clean and dry the infected skin area and wash your hands. Take off the cap, then press the spray pump a few times until a smooth spray comes out.
