How 3 Mix Cream works
3 Mix Cream is a combination of three medicines: Miconazole, Mometasone and Nadifloxacin which treat skin infections. Miconazole is an antifungal which stops the growth of fungi while Nadifloxacin is an antibiotic which kills bacteria that cause skin infections. Mometasone is a steroid which blocks the production of certain chemical messengers (prostaglandins) that make the skin red, swollen and itchy.

FAQs
What skin problems does 3 Mix Cream treat?
3 Mix Cream is used for treating mixed skin infections caused by fungi and bacteria that lead to redness, swelling, itching, or burning of the skin. It is commonly prescribed for conditions like athlete’s foot, ringworm, and inflamed skin infections.
Can I use 3 Mix Cream if I have sensitive or broken skin?
Do not apply 3 Mix Cream to broken, inflamed, or sensitive skin, unless your doctor specifically tells you to. Using it on open wounds, cuts, or areas with acne or rosacea can make the problem worse.
How quickly should my skin improve after starting 3 Mix Cream?
The exact time 3 Mix Cream takes to improve your skin condition is not known. However, most patients notice relief from itching and redness within a few days, but the underlying infection may take up to 2 to 6 weeks to clear. If you don’t see improvement after this period, let your doctor know.
Can I use other skin creams, ointments, or makeup on top of 3 Mix Cream?
You should avoid applying other skin medicines or cosmetics on top of 3 Mix Cream, unless your doctor approves, as they may interact with this medicine or slow healing.
Are there any health conditions that make using 3 Mix Cream less safe?
Let your doctor know if you have skin conditions like psoriasis or eczema, or medical issues like diabetes, glaucoma, cataracts, liver, or adrenal gland problems before using 3 Mix Cream.
What should I do if my skin infection keeps coming back even after 3 Mix Cream?
If infections keep returning or symptoms don’t resolve, contact your healthcare professional. There may be another issue needing attention, or a different medicine might be required.
Will 3 Mix Cream lighten my skin or remove dark spots?
No, 3 Mix Cream is not a skin-lightening or cosmetic medicine. It is meant to treat specific infections, and using it on normal skin for lightening is unsafe.
Can I use 3 Mix Cream for a rash that is not diagnosed by a doctor?
No, you should not apply 3 Mix Cream without a proper diagnosis. Using a strong combination medicines wrongly can hide the real cause of a rash, or make skin thinning worse over time.
How long should I continue using 3 Mix Cream?
Usually, doctors prescribe 3 Mix Cream for a short duration, often one to two weeks. Prolonged use without medical advice can lead to skin thinning, increased infection, or delayed healing.
What should I do if burning or irritation occurs after applying 3 Mix Cream?
If mild burning happens after using 3 Mix Cream, you can wait for a few minutes to see if it settles. If it continues or worsens, stop using the medicine and contact your doctor immediately, as it may not suit your skin.
Does 3 Mix Cream cure fungal infections completely?
Yes, when 3 Mix Cream is used correctly and for the full course prescribed, it can clear the infection effectively. However, stopping early or improper use may cause recurrence.
Can 3 Mix Cream be used for pimples or acne?
No, 3 Mix Cream is not meant for acne or pimples. The steroid part (mometasone) in 3 Mix Cream can worsen acne and cause new breakouts.
