  • Wash your hands after applying (unless treating 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; fungal infections can spread easily.

Q. What is Keto Lotion used for?

It is crucial to continue treatment for the full prescribed duration even after symptoms disappear to prevent the infection from returning.

Q. What side effects might I experience?
Some users report mild skin irritation, burning sensations, itching, or dryness where the medication is applied. These effects are usually temporary. However, if you develop severe reactions like significant swelling, intense redness, or blistering, discontinue use immediately and consult your healthcare provider.
Q. Can pregnant or breastfeeding women use Keto Lotion?
While topical ketoconazole is generally considered low-risk, pregnant or breastfeeding women should consult their doctor before using this medication to weigh potential benefits against any possible risks.
Q. Can I apply other skin products over Keto Lotion?
You may use makeup, moisturizers, or sunscreen after applying Keto Lotion, but wait at least 10-15 minutes to allow the medication to be fully absorbed into the skin first.
Q. How can I prevent fungal infections from recurring?
Maintain good skin hygiene by keeping affected areas clean and dry. Avoid sharing personal items like towels or clothing. For foot infections, consider using antifungal powder in shoes and socks. Wearing breathable fabrics like cotton can also help prevent reinfection.
Q. Is Keto Lotion appropriate for children?
While Keto Lotion can be used in pediatric patients, it should only be administered under medical supervision. The appropriate dosage and treatment duration may vary depending on the child's age and the severity of the infection.
Q. What precautions should I take while using Keto Lotion?
Take care to avoid contact with the eyes, nose, and mouth. Unless directed by your doctor, don't cover treated areas with airtight bandages, as this may increase absorption and side effects. Be mindful that it may increase sun sensitivity in some people, so take appropriate sun protection measures.
Q. Can I stop treatment once my symptoms improve?
No, you should complete the full course of treatment exactly as prescribed. Stopping early, even if symptoms disappear, may allow surviving fungi to regrow and cause the infection to return.
