Can I use a steroid cream along with Keynet Soap?
It is recommended to use a mild steroid ointment like hydrocortisone cream/ointment in the morning and Keynet Soap in the evening. Gradually reduce the use of the steroid cream over 2-3 weeks. However, if you have used a potent corticosteroid for seborrheic dermatitis, keep at least 2 weeks between applications to prevent skin sensitization.

For how long do I need to use Keynet Soap?
Use Keynet Soap for as long as advised by your doctor. It generally requires 2-4 weeks for jock itch and sweat rash and 2-6 weeks for athlete's foot. Do not stop using it even if symptoms disappear, because the infection may reappear if not properly treated.

If you miss a dose of Keynet Soap, don't worry and continue using it as soon as you remember. If you have any doubts or questions, please consult your doctor.
