Can I use a steroid cream along with Kenz Lotion?
While using mild steroid ointments like hydrocortisone cream/ointment in the morning and Kenz Lotion at night is recommended. Gradually reduce the use of the steroid cream over 2-3 weeks. However, if you have used potent corticosteroids for seborrheic dermatitis, wait at least two weeks before applying Kenz Lotion to prevent skin sensitization.

For how long do I need to use Kenz Lotion?
The duration of treatment depends on the specific fungal infection. Generally, use Kenz Lotion for 2-4 weeks for jock itch and sweat rash, and 2-6 weeks for athlete's foot. Do not stop using it even if symptoms disappear as further treatment might be needed to prevent reinfection.
What should I do if I forget to use Kenz Lotion?
If you miss a dose of Kenz Lotion, don't panic and continue applying the medication as soon as you remember. If any concerns arise, please consult your doctor for further advice.
