Topical anti-microbial compositions, and more particularly anti-bacterial and anti-fungal compositions, comprising a therapeutically effective amount of an anti-microbial agent, a starch, a hydroalcoholic solvent, and a volatile silicone compound having a viscosity of about 0.1 to about 50 centistokes. These compositions are capable of temporarily or permanently reducing, inhibiting, treating, ameliorating, or preventing microbial skin infections, as well as other related skin conditions.
