Frequently asked questions
What is Kozol Cream used for?
Kozol Cream is a prescription medication used to treat fungal infections of the skin and nails, including Athlete's foot, jock itch, sweat rash (infected with a yeast), and candida infections. It provides relief from itching caused by these fungal infections.
Is Kozol Cream a steroid cream?
Kozol Cream is not a steroid cream. It belongs to the imidazole class of medications, which are anti-fungal drugs. They work by killing fungi or inhibiting their growth, thus preventing infections.
What are the side effects of Kozol Cream?
Common side effects include burning, redness, and itching at the application site. Some individuals may experience discomfort, dryness, bleeding, severe allergic reactions (hives, rash), skin exfoliation, stickiness, prickling sensation, or inflammation.
Can I use a steroid cream along with Kozol Cream?
It's best to apply a mild corticosteroid ointment like hydrocortisone cream/ointment in the morning and use Kozol Cream in the evening. Gradually reduce the corticosteroid application over 2-3 weeks. However, if you have used a potent corticosteroid for seborrheic dermatitis, wait at least 2 weeks before applying Kozol Cream to prevent skin sensitization.
How should Kozol Cream be applied?
Wash the affected area thoroughly with water and then dry it. Always wash your hands carefully (until and unless your hands are also affected) after applying Kozol Cream, which helps prevent infection spread to other areas or people.
For how long do I need to use Kozol Cream?
You should continue using Kozol Cream for as long as advised by your doctor. Generally, it is used for 2-4 weeks for jock itch and sweat rash, while for Athlete's foot, it is used for 2-6 weeks. Do not stop even if symptoms disappear completely, because the infection may reappear if not properly treated.
What should I do if I forget to use Kozol Cream?
If you miss a dose of Kozol Cream, continue using it as soon as possible. However, always consult your doctor if you have any doubts or concerns about this.
