Expert advice FOR Dermastar Soap
- Do not stop early; continue using it for the full treatment duration, even if the infection improves. Stopping too soon can lead to the infection returning.
- Wash your hands after applying Ketoconazole (unless you are treating your hands) to avoid spreading the infection.
- Avoid tight clothing and wear loose, breathable fabrics to keep the area dry and prevent irritation.
- Do not share towels, clothes, or personal items, as fungal infections can spread easily.
- Ketoconazole may make your skin more sensitive to sunlight. Use sunscreen or cover treated areas when going outside.
- Apply it about 1 inch beyond the visible edge of the infection. This helps treat areas of infection that may not be visible on the skin.
- Wait 20–30 minutes after application before using moisturizers or sunscreen on the same area.
- Do not use it on open wounds, deep cuts, or severely oozing skin unless advised by your doctor.
