How Hydrozole Cream works
Hydrozole Cream is a combination of two medicines: Clotrimazole and Hydrocortisone which treat fungal skin infections. Clotrimazole is an antifungal which stops the growth of fungi by preventing them from forming their own protective covering. Hydrocortisone is a steroid. It blocks the production of certain chemical messengers (prostaglandins) that make the skin red, swollen and itchy.
