ITCH Free

Beclometasone + Neomycin + Clotrimazole + Chlorocresol is a combination of four medicines: Beclometasone + Neomycin + Clotrimazole + Chlorocresol1, Beclometasone + Neomycin + Clotrimazole + Chlorocresol2, Beclometasone + Neomycin + Clotrimazole + Chlorocresol3, and Beclometasone + Neomycin + Clotrimazole + Chlorocresol4, which treat skin infections.

Beclometasone + Neomycin + Clotrimazole + Chlorocresol2 is an antibiotic which kills bacteria by preventing the synthesis of essential proteins required by bacteria to carry out vital functions. Beclometasone + Neomycin + Clotrimazole + Chlorocresol3 is an antifungal which stops the growth of fungi by preventing them from forming their own protective covering.

Patient Concerns about ITCH Free Products

Frequently asked questions about ITCH Free Products

Q. What is ITCH Free Cream used for?

ITCH Free Cream is used to treat certain skin infections associated with inflammation and infection-causing microorganisms. It may help relieve symptoms such as redness, itching, swelling, irritation, and discomfort while treating the underlying infection. It helps promote healing of affected skin by targeting different causes of infection and inflammation together.

Q. How does ITCH Free Cream work?

ITCH Free Cream contains beclometasone, neomycin, clotrimazole and chlorocresol, which work together to treat skin infections and relieve inflammation. Clotrimazole helps treat fungal infections by stopping the growth of fungi. Neomycin is an antibiotic that helps control certain bacteria that can cause skin infections. Chlorocresol is an antiseptic that helps prevent the growth of microorganisms. Beclometasone is a corticosteroid that helps reduce redness, swelling, itching and irritation. Together, these ingredients help control infection and provide relief from uncomfortable skin symptoms, supporting the healing process.

Q. Can ITCH Free Cream treat both fungal and bacterial skin infections?

Yes, ITCH Free Cream contains ingredients that can help treat certain bacterial and fungal skin infections at the same time. This may be useful when both types of microorganisms are involved or when there is a risk of secondary infection. However, it should only be used for the condition for which it has been prescribed.

Q. Can I use ITCH Free Cream on my face?

Use ITCH Free Cream on the face only if specifically advised by your doctor. Facial skin is more delicate and may be more sensitive to the effects of steroid-containing creams. Prolonged use on the face may increase the risk of unwanted skin changes, so follow the prescribed duration carefully.

Q. Can ITCH Free Cream be used on private parts or other sensitive areas?

ITCH Free Cream should only be used on sensitive areas such as the genital region if your doctor specifically prescribes it. The skin in these areas is more sensitive and may absorb more medicine. Do not self-treat infections in sensitive areas without proper medical evaluation.

Q. What should I do if ITCH Free Cream gets into my eyes, nose, or mouth?

If ITCH Free Cream accidentally comes into contact with your eyes, nose, or mouth, rinse the area thoroughly with plenty of clean water. If irritation continues or you experience discomfort after rinsing, seek medical advice to ensure that further treatment is not required.

Q. How long should I continue using ITCH Free Cream?

Continue using ITCH Free Cream for the full duration prescribed by your doctor, even if symptoms appear to improve earlier. Stopping treatment too soon may allow the infection to return or may not completely clear the underlying problem. Do not use it for longer than recommended without medical advice.

Q. How long does it usually take for ITCH Free Cream to start working?

Most people see improvement in itching, redness, or irritation within a few days of regular use. Depending on the type and severity of the infection, it may take longer to fully heal. Consistent use as directed helps achieve the best treatment outcome.

Q. What are the signs of an allergic reaction to ITCH Free Cream?

Although uncommon, a serious allergic reaction may cause severe itching, rash, swelling of the face, lips, tongue, or throat, or difficulty breathing. If you notice any of these symptoms after applying ITCH Free Cream, stop using it and seek immediate medical attention.

Q. Can long-term use of ITCH Free Cream affect my skin?

Yes, long-term or excessive use of steroid-containing creams like ITCH Free Cream can increase the risk of thinning of the skin, stretch marks, changes in skin color, or increased skin sensitivity. These risks are reduced when the medicine is used only for the prescribed duration and only on the affected area.

Q. Can I apply ITCH Free Cream to open wounds, cuts, or severe burns?

Do not apply ITCH Free Cream to open wounds, deep cuts, severely damaged skin, or serious burns unless specifically instructed by your doctor. Applying it to these areas may increase absorption of the medicine and raise the likelihood of side effects.

Q. Can I cover the treated area with a bandage or dressing?

Do not cover the treated area with airtight bandages or dressings unless directed by your doctor. Occlusive dressings may increase absorption of the medicine through the skin and increase the chance of side effects, especially if used for long periods.

Q. Can I use moisturizers or other skincare products along with ITCH Free Cream?

You can often use moisturizers and other skincare products along with ITCH Free Cream. However, it is best to use them at different times and avoid applying multiple products together on the same area unless your doctor advises you to do so. This helps ensure the medicine works as intended.

Q. Can I stop using ITCH Free Cream once the infection looks better?

Even if your affected skin looks normal again, it is important to finish the prescribed course of treatment unless your doctor advises you to stop. If you stop treatment too soon, the infection may return and treatment may be less effective.

Q. What should I avoid while using ITCH Free Cream?

Do not get ITCH Free Cream in the eyes, mouth, or nose. Do not use ITCH Free Cream on unaffected skin. Do not use other medicated creams on the same area unless your doctor tells you to do so. Following the prescribed directions can help minimize irritation and reduce the risk of side effects.
