It is also effective against candida infections of skin and nails. Kevon Soap helps rapidly relieve itching caused by these fungal infections.
Is Kevon Soap a steroid cream?

What are the side effects of Kevon Soap?
Common side effects include burning sensation at the application site, redness, and itching. Some uncommon side effects may also occur, such as discomfort, dryness, bleeding, severe allergic reactions (hives), rash, skin exfoliation, sticky skin, prickling sensation, or inflammation.
Can I use a steroid cream along with Kevon Soap?
It is recommended to apply a mild steroid ointment like hydrocortisone cream/ointment in the morning and use Kevon Soap at night. Gradually discontinue the steroid cream over 2-3 weeks. However, if you have used a potent corticosteroid for seborrheic dermatitis, wait at least 2 weeks before using Kevon Soap to prevent skin sensitization.
How should Kevon Soap be applied?
Wash the affected area thoroughly with water and then dry it. Wash your hands carefully (until you've washed your hands as usual, unless they are also affected) after applying Kevon Soap to prevent infection from spreading to other body parts or others.
For how long do I need to use Kevon Soap?
You should continue using Kevon Soap for the duration 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 just because symptoms have gone away; infection may reappear if not completely treated.
What should I do if I forget to use Kevon Soap?
If you miss a dose of Kevon Soap, don't worry! Just continue using it as soon as you remember. However, if you have any doubts or concerns, consult your doctor.
