Frequently asked questions
What is Ketozer Soap used for?
Ketozer Soap is used to treat skin infections that may appear on the feet (athlete's foot), in the groin area (jock itch), or between skin folds (sweat rash infected with a yeast infection 'thrush'). It is also used for candida infections of skin and nails. It rapidly relieves the itching caused due to these fungal infections.
Is Ketozer Soap a steroid cream?
No, Ketozer Soap is not a steroid cream. It is an anti-fungal medicine which belongs to the imidazole class of medicines. It works by killing the fungi or by preventing the growth of fungi that cause infection.
What are the side effects of Ketozer Soap?
Common side effects include burning, redness, and itching at the application site. Other potential side effects can include discomfort, dryness, bleeding, severe allergic reactions (e.g., urticaria or hives, rash), skin exfoliation, sticky skin, prickling sensation, or inflammation.
Can I use a steroid cream along with Ketozer Soap?
It is recommended to use a mild steroid ointment like hydrocortisone cream/ointment in the morning and Ketozer Soap in the evening. Gradually discontinue 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 Ketozer Soap to prevent skin sensitization.
How should Ketozer Soap be applied?
Wash the affected area thoroughly with water and then dry it. Wash your hands carefully (until and unless your hands are also affected) after applying Ketozer Soap. This will prevent the infection from spreading to other parts of the body or other people.
For how long do I need to use Ketozer Soap?
Use Ketozer Soap for as long as advised 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 it even if your symptoms have disappeared because the infection may reappear if not properly treated.
What should I do if I forget to use Ketozer Soap?
If you forget to use Ketozer Soap, do not worry and continue using Ketozer Soap as soon as you remember. However, if you are not sure and have any other doubts, please consult your doctor.
