Keto Cream is an antifungal medication. It kills and stops the growth of the fungi by destroying its cell membrane thereby treating your skin infection.
Keep your feet clean and dry, particularly between the toes. Cut your nails short and prefer open-toe shoes for everyday use. Use a separate clean towel for the feet and wear clean cotton socks. Never share your socks, shoes, and towel with others. Inform your doctor if the infection has not cleared up after 4 weeks of treatment.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
