Frequently asked questions
What is Keto Cream used for?
Keto Cream is a topical prescription medication used to treat various skin infections, including athlete's foot, jock itch, and sweat rash (with the potential for fungal infection such as thrush). It effectively reduces itching caused by these fungal infections.
Is Keto Cream a steroid cream?
No, Keto Cream is not a steroid cream. It belongs to the imidazole class of medications and works by killing or preventing the growth of fungi that cause infection.
What are the side effects of Keto Cream?
Common side effects include burning, redness, and itching at the application site. Uncommon side effects may also involve discomfort, dryness, bleeding, severe allergic reactions (e.g., hives), rash, skin exfoliation, sticky skin, prickling sensation, or inflammation.
Can I use a steroid cream along with Keto Cream?
A mild steroid ointment like hydrocortisone cream/ointment can be used in the morning, and Keto Cream at night. Gradually decrease usage of the steroid cream over 2-3 weeks. If you have already used potent corticosteroids for seborrheic dermatitis, it is recommended to wait at least 2 weeks before applying Keto Cream to avoid skin sensitization.
How should Keto Cream be applied?
Thoroughly wash the affected area with water and dry it. Wash your hands carefully (until and unless your hands are also affected) after applying Keto Cream to prevent infection spread. If you have any further doubts, consult your doctor.
For how long do I need to use Keto Cream?
Consult with your doctor for the specific duration of treatment. Generally, it is used for 2-4 weeks for jock itch and sweat rash, and for 2-6 weeks for athlete's foot. Continue using Keto Cream even if symptoms disappear, as infection may recur without proper treatment.
What should I do if I forget to use Keto Cream?
If you miss a dose of Keto Cream, don't worry; resume using it as soon as possible. However, consult your doctor for any further concerns or uncertainties.
