Product introduction
KETO Cream is an antifungal medication applied to the skin to treat fungal infections like athlete’s foot, ringworm, jock itch, and yeast infections. It works by inhibiting fungal growth, helping clear the infection and relieve symptoms such as itching, redness, and scaling.
Use KETO Cream as prescribed by your doctor, with the dose and duration. Continue using the medicine for the full prescribed time, even if symptoms improve, to prevent the infection from coming back. Keep the affected area clean and dry, avoid sharing personal items like towels, and wear loose, breathable clothing to help the skin heal faster.
KETO Cream is usually well tolerated, but some people may experience mild side effects, such as skin burning, itching, or redness at the application site. If these occur, try using the medication less often or consult your doctor. Avoid scratching the area, as this can worsen irritation. To minimize side effects, apply only as directed and avoid using it on broken or sensitive skin unless your doctor instructs you to.
Before using KETO Cream, inform your doctor if you have allergies or sensitive skin. Avoid contact with the eyes, nose, mouth, or open wounds, as it may irritate these areas. Do not cover the treated area with tight bandages unless advised by your doctor, as this can increase absorption and side effects. If you are pregnant or breastfeeding, consult a doctor before use. If your condition does not improve after a few weeks or gets worse, seek medical advice.

Quick tips
- Do not stop early; continue using it for the full treatment duration, even if the infection improves. Stopping too soon can lead to the infection returning.
- Wash your hands after applying KETO Cream (unless you are treating your hands) to avoid spreading the infection.
- Avoid tight clothing and wear loose, breathable fabrics to keep the area dry and prevent irritation.
- Do not share towels, clothes, or personal items, as fungal infections can spread easily.
- KETO Cream may make your skin more sensitive to sunlight. Use sunscreen or cover treated areas when going outside.
- Apply it about 1 inch beyond the visible edge of the infection. This helps treat areas of infection that may not be visible on the skin.
- Wait 20–30 minutes after application before using moisturizers or sunscreen on the same area.
- Do not use it on open wounds, deep cuts, or severely oozing skin unless advised by your doctor.

FAQs
What is KETO Cream and what is it used for?
KETO Cream is an antifungal medicine that treats various fungal skin infections, including athlete’s foot, ringworm, jock itch, and yeast infections. It works by stopping fungal growth and helps relieve symptoms such as itching, redness, and flaking skin.
How long will it take to see results from using KETO Cream?
Some improvement in symptoms such as itching and redness may be noticeable within a few days. However, complete healing typically takes 2 to 6 weeks with consistent use. Continue treatment for the full prescribed duration, even after symptoms disappear, to prevent the infection from returning.
Is KETO Cream safe to use on broken skin?
Avoid applying KETO Cream to open wounds or severely damaged skin unless specifically instructed by your doctor, as it may cause additional irritation. For minor cuts or abrasions near the affected area, apply it carefully around them.
What side effects might I experience?
Mild skin irritation, burning sensation, itching, or dryness at the application site may occur. These effects are usually temporary. However, if you develop severe reactions such as significant swelling, intense redness, or blistering, discontinue use immediately and consult your doctor.
Can pregnant or breastfeeding women use KETO Cream?
Although topical ketoconazole is generally considered to have a low risk, pregnant or breastfeeding women should consult their doctor before using this medication to weigh the potential benefits against possible risks.
Can I apply other skin products over KETO Cream?
You may use makeup, moisturizers, or sunscreen after applying KETO Cream, but wait at least 10–15 minutes to allow the medication to be fully absorbed into the skin.
How can I prevent fungal infections from recurring?
Maintain good skin hygiene by keeping affected areas clean and dry. Avoid sharing personal items such as towels or clothing. For foot infections, consider using antifungal powder in shoes and socks. Wearing breathable fabrics such as cotton can also help prevent reinfection.
Is KETO Cream appropriate for children?
KETO Cream may be used in pediatric patients, but only under medical supervision. The appropriate dosage and treatment duration may vary depending on the child's age and the severity of the infection.
What precautions should I take while using KETO Cream?
Avoid contact with the eyes, nose, and mouth. Unless directed by your doctor, do not cover treated areas with airtight bandages, as this may increase absorption and the risk of side effects. Be aware that it may increase sun sensitivity in some individuals, so take appropriate sun protection measures.
Can I stop treatment once my symptoms improve?
No. Complete the full course of treatment exactly as prescribed. Stopping early, even if symptoms disappear, may allow surviving fungi to regrow and cause the infection to return.
Should I apply KETO Cream before or after a bath?
Apply KETO Cream after a bath or shower on clean, completely dry skin. Cleansing removes debris, excess sebum, and dead skin cells, thereby enhancing drug penetration.
Why is my skin peeling after using KETO Cream?
Skin peeling after using KETO Cream is relatively common, usually mild, and temporary. It may occur because the medicine can dry the skin when used more often than recommended, or, in rare cases, due to an allergic reaction. If this becomes bothersome, contact your doctor.
What if the infection returns after stopping?
If symptoms return after you stop using ketoconazole, consult your doctor. Some fungal infections can recur, especially if they were not completely cleared or are prone to recurrence. Do not restart or continue the medicine for longer than recommended without medical advice. Your doctor may suggest another course of treatment or a maintenance plan to help prevent the infection from returning.
