What are the side effects of Ketopoz Soap?

Can I use a steroid cream along with Ketopoz Soap?
It is recommended to use a mild steroid ointment like hydrocortisone cream/ointment in the morning and Ketopoz Soap in the evening. Gradually discontinue using the steroid cream over 2-3 weeks. However, if you have used a potent corticosteroid for seborrheic dermatitis, maintain at least a 2-week gap before applying Ketopoz Soap to prevent skin sensitization.
How should Ketopoz Soap be applied?
Before application, thoroughly wash the affected area with water and dry it. Wash your hands (excluding hands that are also affected) after application to prevent infection spread. This helps prevent transmission to other parts of your body or others.
For how long do I need to use Ketopoz Soap?
Use Ketopoz Soap for as long as recommended by your doctor. Generally, it is used for 2-4 weeks for jock itch and sweat rash, and 2-6 weeks for athlete's foot. Do not stop using Ketopoz Soap even if your symptoms have disappeared because the infection may reappear if not treated properly.
What should I do if I forget to use Ketopoz Soap?
If you forget to use Ketopoz Soap, don't worry and continue using it as soon as possible. If you have any doubts or are unsure about anything else, please consult your doctor.
