Macderm K Cream (Ketoconazole + Fluocinolone + Neomycin + Menthol) | For Fungal Skin Infections, Inflammatory Skin Conditions, Bacterial Dermatoses and Itch Relief Support
It works by combining antifungal, antibacterial, soothing, and inflammation-reducing properties to support healthier-looking skin. Use it only as directed for the recommended duration.
Product Overview
What is Macderm K Cream?
Macderm K Cream is a topical antifungal medicine that contains Ketoconazole as its active ingredient. It is widely used to treat various fungal infections affecting the skin, including ringworm, athlete's foot, jock itch, and certain types of yeast infections on the skin's surface. By targeting the fungal cells directly, this cream helps clear infections while soothing the discomfort that often comes with them.
How Does It Work?
Ketoconazole belongs to a class of medicines known as antifungals. It works by damaging the outer membrane of fungal cells, which stops the fungi from growing and spreading further. This action not only treats the existing infection but also helps prevent it from recurring, provided the cream is used consistently as advised by a healthcare provider.
How to Apply
The cream is meant for external use only. A thin layer is typically applied to the clean, dry, affected area once or twice a day, or as guided by a healthcare provider. It's important to continue using the cream for the full recommended duration, even if symptoms improve early, to ensure the infection is fully cleared.
Key Uses
Macderm K Cream is generally recommended for:
- Ringworm (a common fungal skin infection)
- Athlete's foot affecting the skin between the toes
- Jock itch in the groin area
- Mild yeast-related skin infections
