I have started using Hautderm 1% Powder. By when can I expect to start seeing the improvements?
The symptoms of skin infection, such as itching or soreness, should improve within a few days of treatment. However, the signs such as redness and scaling may take longer to disappear. It is essential to continue applying the medicine as directed by your doctor, even if you feel better, to ensure the infection is fully cleared.
What precautions are necessary while applying Hautderm 1% Powder?
Always wash your hands thoroughly before and after applying Hautderm 1% Powder.

Apply the cream thinly and evenly, rubbing it gently onto the affected areas two or three times daily.
For how long should I apply Hautderm 1% Powder? Can I stop if the symptoms have completely disappeared?
The duration of treatment depends on the type of infection. Typically, treatment is continued for 1 month for tinea infection and at least 15 days for candida infection. Do not stop the treatment on your own, as the infection may come back, and it takes time to fully clear the fungus.

Are there any measures that should be taken to help a faster recovery?
Keep the affected skin areas clean and dry, but avoid excessive rubbing. If you experience itchiness, avoid scratching as it can damage the skin and spread the infection further. Also, avoid sharing towels, bath mats, or other personal items to prevent spreading the infection to others.
Does Hautderm 1% Powder affect contraception?
Hautderm 1% Powder may reduce the effectiveness of rubber contraceptives, such as diaphragms and condoms. If using the cream on the vulva or penis, consider alternative methods of contraception for at least 5 days after using Hautderm 1% Powder.
