What skin problems does Afderm-MN + Cream treat?
Afderm-MN + 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 Afderm-MN + Cream if I have sensitive or broken skin?
Do not apply Afderm-MN + 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 Afderm-MN + Cream?
The exact time Afderm-MN + 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 Afderm-MN + Cream?
You should avoid applying other skin medicines or cosmetics on top of Afderm-MN + Cream, unless your doctor approves, as they may interact with this medicine or slow healing.
Are there any health conditions that make using Afderm-MN + 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 Afderm-MN + Cream.
What should I do if my skin infection keeps coming back even after Afderm-MN + 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 Afderm-MN + Cream lighten my skin or remove dark spots?
No, Afderm-MN + 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 Afderm-MN + Cream for a rash that is not diagnosed by a doctor?
No, you should not apply Afderm-MN + 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 Afderm-MN + Cream?
Usually, doctors prescribe Afderm-MN + 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 Afderm-MN + Cream?
If mild burning happens after using Afderm-MN + 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 Afderm-MN + Cream cure fungal infections completely?
Yes, when Afderm-MN + 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 Afderm-MN + Cream be used for pimples or acne?
No, Afderm-MN + Cream is not meant for acne or pimples. The steroid part (mometasone) in Afderm-MN + Cream can worsen acne and cause new breakouts.
