ketora ketoconazole cream 2% 30G

Ketoral cream (2% ketoconazole) is an effective topical antifungal used to treat “fungal acne” (pityrosporum folliculitis), a condition caused by Malassezia yeast rather than bacteria. It treats the small, itchy, uniform bumps by inhibiting yeast growth, usually requiring application once or twice daily for 2-3 weeks.

Key Information for Using Ketoral Cream for Fungal Acne:

How it Works: Ketoconazole disrupts the cell membranes of the Malassezia yeast, alleviating itching, redness, and inflammation.

Application: Apply a thin layer to the affected area and surrounding skin.
Duration: Results are usually seen within 2 to 3 weeks, though it may take longer.
Precautions:
Avoid using if you are allergic to ketoconazole.
Side effects can include skin irritation, stinging, or redness.
Do not use after the expiration date on the tube.
Complementary Care: To prevent recurrence, keep the skin dry, avoid excessive sweating, and use oil-free ((non-comedogenic) skin products.
