Frequently asked questions
What is Ketz Soap used for?
Ketz Soap is used to treat fungal 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, also known as thrush). It is also used to treat candida infections of the skin and nails. Ketz Soap rapidly relieves itching caused by these fungal infections.
Is Ketz Soap a steroid cream?
No, Ketz Soap is not a steroid cream. It is an anti-fungal medicine belonging to the imidazole class of medicines. It works by killing the fungi or preventing their growth, which causes infection.
What are the side effects of Ketz Soap?
Common side effects of Ketz Soap include application site burning, redness, and itching. In some cases, the application site may experience discomfort, dryness, bleeding, severe allergic reactions, urticaria or hives, rash, skin exfoliation, sticky skin, prickling sensation, or inflammation.
Can I use a steroid cream along with Ketz Soap?
It is recommended to use a mild steroid ointment, such as hydrocortisone cream/ointment, in the morning and Ketz Soap in the evening. You can then gradually stop using the steroid cream over a period of 2-3 weeks. However, if you have used a potent corticosteroid for seborrheic dermatitis, maintain a gap of at least 2 weeks before applying Ketz Soap to prevent skin sensitization.
How should Ketz Soap be applied?
Wash the affected area thoroughly with water and dry it. Wash your hands carefully (unless your hands are also affected) after applying Ketz Soap to prevent the infection from spreading to other parts of the body or other people.
For how long do I need to use Ketz Soap?
Use Ketz Soap for as long as advised by your doctor. Typically, 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 Ketz Soap even if your symptoms have disappeared, as the infection may reappear if not properly treated.
What should I do if I forget to use Ketz Soap?
If you forget to use Ketz Soap, do not worry and continue using it as soon as you remember. However, if you are unsure or have any doubts, please consult your doctor.
