It also helps treat fungal skin infections like pityriasis (tinea versicolor), which causes white or dark pigmentation on the face, neck, chest, arms, or legs.
How long does it take for Fungomed 1% Lotion to work?
Fungomed 1% Lotion is an antifungal medicine that acts directly on the skin and provides relief from fungal skin infections. It typically starts showing results within a few days, but complete cure often takes one to two weeks of continuous use as prescribed by your doctor.

How do we apply Fungomed 1% Lotion on the skin?

Do not cover the area after application unless directed by your doctor. If the infection is present under the breasts, between the fingers, buttocks, or in the groin, then you should apply the cream properly covering the affected skin with a sterile dressing.
How long can I use Fungomed 1% Lotion?
Fungomed 1% Lotion usually provides relief within a few days. However, fungal infections affect multiple layers of the skin, so you may need to continue using it for the prescribed duration, typically one to two weeks, and up to four weeks in severe cases. It is vital to not stop using Fungomed 1% Lotion before finishing the full course as this increases the risk of a relapse. If you don't see improvement within the prescribed duration, please consult your doctor immediately.
Is Fungomed 1% Lotion safe in children?
Fungomed 1% Lotion has been approved for use only in individuals aged 12 years or older. The safety of this medication has not been determined for children under 12 years old, so its usage is not recommended without medical supervision.
I feel better now. Can I stop using Fungomed 1% Lotion?
No, do not discontinue Fungomed 1% Lotion without consulting your doctor even if you are feeling better. Your symptoms may improve before the infection is completely cured. Therefore, to ensure complete treatment and best results, it's crucial to continue taking Fungomed 1% Lotion as prescribed by your healthcare provider.
