Keto Cream

Product Overview

Keto Cream is a topical antifungal medication containing the active ingredient Ketoconazole. Designed to combat fungal skin infections, this cream effectively treats conditions such as athlete’s foot, jock itch, ringworm, and seborrheic dermatitis. Its targeted action works by inhibiting fungal growth while providing symptomatic relief. The non-greasy formula ensures quick absorption, making it convenient for regular use.

Uses

This cream is prescribed for fungal skin infections caused by dermatophytes, yeasts, and similar microorganisms. It’s particularly effective against athlete’s foot (tinea pedis), jock itch (tinea cruris), ringworm (tinea corporis), and seborrheic dermatitis. Keto Cream works by disrupting ergosterol production – a key component of fungal cell membranes – leading to fungal cell destruction and infection clearance.

How to Use

1. Clean and dry the affected area thoroughly
2. Apply a thin layer of cream to the infected skin and surrounding area
3. Gently massage until fully absorbed
4. Wash hands after application (unless treating hands)
5. Use as directed by your healthcare provider
6. Avoid contact with eyes, nose, mouth, and mucous membranes

How it Works

Ketoconazole, the active ingredient, targets fungal cells by blocking ergosterol synthesis. This essential membrane component maintains fungal cell integrity. By disrupting its production, the medication causes cellular leakage and eventual fungal death, effectively clearing infections and relieving associated symptoms like itching, redness, and inflammation.
