Ketoconazole

Q. What is Keto Lotion used for?
Keto Lotion is used to treat skin infections which 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 due to these fungal infections.

Q. What are the side effects of Keto Lotion?
The common side effects are application site burning, redness, and itching.

Q. Can I use a steroid cream along with Keto Lotion?
It is recommended that you use a mild steroid ointment like hydrocortisone cream/ointment in the morning and use Keto Lotion in the evening. You can then stop using the steroid cream gradually over 2-3 weeks. But, if you have used a potent corticosteroid for seborrheic dermatitis, maintain at least a gap of 2 weeks before you apply Keto Lotion to prevent skin sensitization.
Q. How should Keto Lotion 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 Keto Lotion. This will prevent the infection from spreading to other parts of the body or other people.
Q. For how long do I need to use Keto Lotion?
You should use Keto Lotion for as long as advised by your doctor. Generally, it is to be 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.
Q. What should I do if I forget to use Keto Lotion?
If you forget to use Keto Lotion, do not worry and continue using Keto Lotion as soon as you remember. However, if you are not sure and have any other doubts, please consult your doctor.
