I think that tolnaftate is one of the more recommended treatments for a fungal infection in the ear, even if there is an eardrum perforation. Now, I'm not sure what the tolnaftate solution you are inquiring about is suspended in, which might make a difference in regards to any pain that one would have on application, particularly if there is an eardrum perforation. I have obtained this solution from a compounding pharmacy, to make sure it can be tolerated without pain, and it was pricey but worked very well.

can fluocinolone acetonide topical solution be used for psoriasis
If there is no infection then take antihistamine and apply topical steroid. In case of infection, topical or oral antibiotics are recommended
Fungal infections can either be systemic, meaning that the infection is deep, or topical (dermatophytic), meaning that the infection is superficial and occurs on the skin.
It's now 06/2013 and I have a tube of 1% tolnaftate that is dated 11/2009 exp. date. I have used it several days in a row on what appears to be a ringworm near my underarm. I have not noticed it getting better yet. In fact it seems to be getting worse. I've used it before on ringworm and you can see it working right away usually in a day or two. Long story short. I'm going to spend the few bucks to get a new tube.
For the topical antibiotic to work best, it should be used only to prevent infection in a fresh wound, not to treat an infection that has already started.
Topical antibiotics may also be applied to surgical incision sites to prevent infection.
should you apply hydroquinone on a burn that has been heal

Its used for cuts and scrapes and what not and we use it for sore throats too. Its really weird but my mother makes me rub it on my tonsils when my throat hurts. It helps its just gross.
You must specify what form of infection you are speaking of to get better answer. But in general, a course of antibiotics either oral or topical will treat the infection.
