Do not use more than you need, it will not clear your condition faster and may only increase the side effects. Skin infections will usually get better after 2 to 4 weeks. Do not use the medicine for longer than your doctor has told you to and let him or her know if your condition does not improve after 2 to 4 weeks of treatment. If you have Athlete’s foot, wash your socks or tights thoroughly and change your shoes daily if possible.

The most common side effects of this medicine include itching, redness, burning sensation at the application site and dryness. Avoid direct contact of medicine with your eyes. In the case of direct contact, wash your eyes with water and seek immediate medical attention.

For pregnant or breastfeeding women, this cream should only be used if it is clearly needed.

How to use Macderm K Cream

This medicine is for external use only. Use it in the dose and duration as advised by your doctor. Check the label for directions before use. Clean and dry the affected area and apply the cream. Wash your hands after applying, unless hands are the affected area.

How Macderm K Cream works

Macderm K Cream is a combination of four medicines: Ketoconazole, Fluocinolone acetonide, Neomycin, and Menthol. Ketoconazole is an antifungal medication. It kills fungi by destroying the fungal cell membrane. This treats your infection. Fluocinolone acetonide is a steroid that works by blocking the production of certain chemical messengers in the body that cause inflammation (redness, pain, and swelling) and allergies. Neomycin is an antibiotic. It stops bacterial growth by preventing the synthesis of essential proteins required by bacteria to carry out vital functions. Menthol is an extract from peppermint that provides a cooling effect on the skin. This is how it works to treat the infection.

Quick tips

  • Macderm K Cream helps treat skin infections caused by many different types of fungi.
  • Few healthy tips for Athlete's Foot:
    • Keep your feet clean and dry, particularly between the toes.
    • Cut your nails short and prefer open-toe shoes for everyday use.
    • Use a separate clean towel for the feet and wear clean cotton socks. 
    • Never share your socks, shoes, and towels with others.
  • Avoid getting it in the eyes, nose, or mouth. If accidental exposure occurs, rinse immediately with plenty of water.
  • Inform your doctor if the infection has not cleared up after four weeks of treatment.
  • Don't cover the area being treated with airtight dressings such as bandages unless directed by a doctor, as this may increase the risk of side effects.
