Yes, unless it causes irritation which will be true for any sunscreen If it's causing irritation you can restart applying 10days after starting a proper antifungal course

Don't use any cosmetic products when you have an active infection. Treatment for the fungal infection will require a proper skin analysis. You can visit our clinic or have an online consultation.
