How it works
Kezrin Cream is an antifungal medication. It kills and stops the growth of the fungi by destroying its cell membrane, thereby treating your skin infection.
Quick Tips
Kezrin Cream helps treat skin infections caused by many different types of fungi. Keep your feet clean and dry, particularly between the toes. Cut your nails short and prefer open-toe shoes for everyday use. Use a separate clean towel for the feet and wear clean cotton socks. Never share your socks, shoes, and towel with others. Finish the full course of treatment even if you feel better. Avoid getting it in the eyes, nose, or mouth. If accidental exposure occurs, rinse immediately with plenty of water. Inform your doctor if the infection has not cleared up after 4 weeks of treatment. Inform your doctor if you are pregnant, planning pregnancy, or breastfeeding.

Frequently asked questions
What is Kezrin Cream used for?
Kezrin Cream is a topical medication used to treat various skin infections. It's effective in treating fungal infections of the feet (athlete's foot), groin area (jock itch), and between skin folds (sweat rash with a yeast infection, also known as thrush). It helps alleviate itching caused by these fungal infections.
Is Kezrin Cream a steroid cream?
No, Kezrin Cream is not a steroid cream. It belongs to the imidazole class of antifungal medications. Its mechanism of action involves killing fungi or preventing their growth, which ultimately helps reduce infection.
What are the side effects of Kezrin Cream?
Common side effects include application site burning, redness, and itching. Uncommon side effects may also occur like discomfort, dryness, bleeding, severe allergic reactions (such as hives), rash, skin exfoliation, sticky skin, prickling sensation, or inflammation.
Can I use a steroid cream along with Kezrin Cream?
It is generally recommended to use a mild steroid ointment like hydrocortisone cream/ointment in the morning and apply Kezrin Cream in the evening. Gradually reduce the use of the steroid cream over 2-3 weeks, but if you have previously used potent corticosteroid for seborrheic dermatitis, ensure at least a 2-week gap before applying Kezrin Cream to avoid skin sensitization.
How should I apply Kezrin Cream?
Wash the affected area thoroughly with water and dry it. Carefully wash your hands (until and unless your hands are also affected) after applying Kezrin Cream, as this helps prevent infection spread to other body parts or others.
For how long do I need to use Kezrin Cream?
Treatment duration for Kezrin Cream varies depending on the specific condition. It is generally 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 Kezrin Cream?
If you miss a dose of Kezrin Cream, don't worry. Continue using it as soon as you remember. If you have any doubts or concerns, consult your doctor.
