Is Ketzi Cream a steroid cream?
No, Ketzi Cream is not a steroid cream. It belongs to the imidazole class of medicines and works by killing fungi or preventing their growth to treat fungal infections.
What are the side effects of Ketzi Cream?
Common side effects include burning at the application site, redness, and itching. Uncommon side effects may include discomfort, dryness, bleeding, allergic reactions (like urticaria or hives), rash, skin exfoliation, sticky skin, prickling sensation, or inflammation.
Can I use a steroid cream along with Ketzi Cream?
It is recommended to apply a mild steroid ointment like hydrocortisone cream/ointment in the morning and Ketzi Cream at night. 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 gap before using Ketzi Cream to prevent skin sensitization.
How should Ketzi Cream be applied?
Wash the affected area thoroughly with water and then dry it. Thoroughly wash your hands (before and after application) to prevent the spread of infection.
For how long do I need to use Ketzi Cream?
You should use Ketzi Cream for as long as recommended by your doctor. For jock itch and sweat rash, use it for 2-4 weeks; for athlete's foot, use it for 2-6 weeks. Do not stop using it even if symptoms disappear because the infection may reappear if not fully treated.
What should I do if I forget to use Ketzi Cream?
If you miss a dose of Ketzi Cream, do not worry and continue using it as soon as possible. If you have any further questions or concerns, please consult your doctor.
