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