Frequently asked questions
What is Roosnil Soap used for?
Roosnil Soap is a treatment for skin infections that may appear on the feet (athlete's foot), in the groin area (jock itch), or between skin folds (sweat rash infected with a yeast infection 'thrush'). It is also used for candida infections of skin and nails. It rapidly relieves the itching caused by these fungal infections.
Is Roosnil Soap a steroid cream?
No, Roosnil Soap is not a steroid cream. It is an anti-fungal medicine which belongs to the imidazole class of medicines. It works by killing the fungi or by preventing the growth of fungi that cause infection.
What are the side effects of Roosnil Soap?
Common side effects include burning, redness, and itching at the application site. Other uncommon side effects can be discomfort, dryness, bleeding, severe allergic reactions (such as hives or rash), skin exfoliation, sticky skin, prickling sensation, or inflammation.
Can I use a steroid cream along with Roosnil Soap?
It is recommended to apply a mild steroid ointment like hydrocortisone cream/ointment in the morning and use Roosnil Soap at night. You can gradually stop using the steroid cream over 2-3 weeks. However, if you have used a potent corticosteroid for seborrheic dermatitis, maintain a gap of 2 weeks before applying Roosnil Soap to prevent skin sensitization.
How should Roosnil Soap be applied?
Wash the affected area thoroughly with water and then dry it. Wash your hands carefully (until and unless your hands are also affected) after applying Roosnil Soap. This will help prevent the infection from spreading to other parts of the body or other people.
For how long do I need to use Roosnil Soap?
You should use Roosnil Soap for as long as 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 even if your symptoms have disappeared because the infection may reappear if not properly treated.
What should I do if I forget to use Roosnil Soap?
If you forget to use Roosnil Soap, don't worry and continue using it as soon as you remember. However, if you have any other doubts, please consult your doctor.
