Product introduction
Use Ketocool 2% Soap 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.
Ketocool 2% Soap 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 Ketocool 2% Soap, 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 Ketocool 2% Soap (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.
- Ketocool 2% Soap 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.

Frequently asked questions
Ketocool 2% Soap 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.
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.
Avoid applying Ketocool 2% Soap 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.
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.
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.
You may use makeup, moisturizers, or sunscreen after applying Ketocool 2% Soap, but wait at least 10–15 minutes to allow the medication to be fully absorbed into the skin.
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.
Ketocool 2% Soap 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.
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.
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.
Apply Ketocool 2% Soap after a bath or shower on clean, completely dry skin. Cleansing removes debris, excess sebum, and dead skin cells, thereby enhancing drug penetration.
Skin peeling after using Ketocool 2% Soap 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.
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.
