Can I use a steroid cream along with Kozan Soap?
It is recommended to apply a mild steroid ointment like hydrocortisone cream/ointment in the morning and Kozan Soap at night. Gradually stop using the steroid cream over 2-3 weeks. However, if you have used a potent corticosteroid for seborrheic dermatitis, wait at least 2 weeks before applying Kozan Soap to prevent skin sensitization.
How should Kozan Soap be applied?
Wash the affected area thoroughly with water and dry it. Wash your hands carefully (until and unless your hands are also affected) after applying Kozan Soap. This prevents the infection from spreading to other parts of your body or to others.
For how long do I need to use Kozan Soap?
Use Kozan Soap for as long as recommended by your doctor, typically 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 disappear because the infection may recur if not properly treated.
What should I do if I forget to use Kozan Soap?
If you forget to use Kozan Soap, don't worry. Simply continue using it as soon as you remember. If you have any questions or doubts, please consult your doctor.
