Q. Can I use a steroid cream along with Ketomel Soap?
It is recommended that you use a mild steroid ointment like hydrocortisone cream/ointment in the morning and use Ketomel Soap 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 Ketomel Soap to prevent skin sensitization.
Q. How should Ketomel 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 Ketomel Soap. 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 Ketomel Soap?
You should use Ketomel Soap 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 Ketomel Soap?
If you forget to use Ketomel Soap, do not worry and continue using Ketomel Soap as soon as you remember. However, if you are not sure and have any other doubts, please consult your doctor.
