Frequently asked questions
What is Ketoraz Cream used for?
Ketoraz Cream is a treatment for skin infections commonly affecting the feet (athlete's foot), groin area (jock itch), or areas with folds where sweat accumulates and yeast can thrive. It is also used to address candida skin and nail infections.
Is Ketoraz Cream a steroid cream?
Ketoraz Cream is not a steroid cream. It belongs to the imidazole class of medications, specifically designed to fight fungal infections by either killing existing fungi or preventing their growth.
What are the side effects of Ketoraz Cream?
Common side effects include application site burning, redness, and itching. Uncommon side effects may involve discomfort, dryness, bleeding, severe allergic reactions (including urticaria or hives), rash, skin exfoliation, sticky skin, prickling sensation, or inflammation.
Can I use a steroid cream along with Ketoraz Cream?
It is recommended to use a mild steroid ointment like hydrocortisone cream/ointment in the morning and Ketoraz Cream in the evening. Gradually discontinue the steroid cream over 2-3 weeks. However, if you have used a potent corticosteroid for seborrheic dermatitis, ensure at least a 2-week break before applying Ketoraz Cream to prevent skin sensitization.
How should I apply Ketoraz Cream?
Always wash the affected area thoroughly with water and then dry it. Wash your hands carefully (until and unless they are also affected) after applying Ketoraz Cream to prevent infection spread. This minimizes the risk of infection spreading to other parts of your body or others.
For how long do I need to use Ketoraz Cream?
Use Ketoraz Cream for as long as recommended by your doctor, typically 2-4 weeks for jock itch and sweat rash, and 2-6 weeks for athlete's foot. Do not discontinue using it even if symptoms disappear because the infection may recur if not fully treated.
What should I do if I forget to use Ketoraz Cream?
If you miss a dose of Ketoraz Cream, don't worry. Simply continue with the prescribed regimen as soon as possible. If you have any doubts, please consult your doctor.
