Description
Ketoconazole + Neomycin Sulphate + Iodochlorhydroxyquinoline + Tolnaftate + Clobetasol Propionate Cream comes with the branding “DERMROZ-KT” and is applied in the treatment of skin infections. Skin infections happen when germs like bacteria, viruses, fungi, or parasites infect the skin and cause redness, irritation, and other problems.

Tolnaftate inhibits fungal growth that leads to skin infection. Clobetasol Propionate inhibits the release of chemical messengers that induce inflammation and redness. Neomycin inhibits the synthesis of proteins necessary for the survival of the bacteria. Iodochlorhydroxyquinoline is an antifungal with additional antibacterial activity. Ketoconazole + Neomycin Sulphate + Iodochlorhydroxyquinoline + Tolnaftate + Clobetasol Propionate Cream, collectively, aids in the treatment of skin infections.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
How does this cream work?
This cream works by reducing infection, swelling, and itching, and prevents bacteria and fungi from growing on your skin.
Does it help with acne?
No, it is for skin infections caused by bacteria or fungi. Acne is usually due to blocked pores, oil, and sometimes a different kind of bacteria, so this cream may not help and could even irritate the skin.
Can I use it for a long time?
Long-term use (especially because it has a strong steroid) can cause side effects like skin thinning, irritation, or other issues. If you’re not getting better in 2–4 weeks, go back to your doctor.
Can it stain hair or clothes?
Yes, the Iodochlorhydroxyquinoline part can leave yellow stains on your hair, clothes, or even nails and skin. Be careful while applying and avoid touching clothes.
Can I use it on my face?
The face is sensitive, and because this cream contains a potent steroid (Clobetasol), it should be used carefully. Use just a small amount and only on the affected area if your doctor tells you to.
