About Keto-B Cream

Keto-B Cream is a topical cream prescribed to treat skin conditions where fungal infections are accompanied by significant inflammation, redness, or itching.

Take Keto-B Cream exactly as prescribed by your doctor. It should be applied only to the affected skin areas, which should be clean and dry. Making simple lifestyle adjustments, such as keeping the affected skin clean and wearing loose-fitting cotton clothing, can significantly support your treatment.

While using Keto-B Cream, you may experience mild, temporary local reactions such as dry skin, mild burning, or slight irritation at the application site. These side effects are usually harmless and go away as your skin adjusts to the medicine. However, if you experience severe burning, skin peeling, skin thinning, or any signs of a severe allergic reaction, you should stop using the cream and consult your doctor immediately.

Do not take this if you have tuberculosis of the skin, viral skin infections (such as chickenpox, shingles, or herpes simplex), or untreated bacterial infections. It is also not suitable for treating rosacea or acne. Talk to your doctor before starting this medicine if you have a history of skin thinning, poor blood circulation, or a weakened immune system.

Let your healthcare provider know about all other topical creams, ointments, or cosmetics you are using, as applying them together may reduce the cream's effectiveness or increase the risk of skin reactions. If you are pregnant, planning to become pregnant, breastfeeding, or treating elderly patients, talk to your doctor or pharmacist before using this medicine to ensure it is safe for your specific situation.

Uses of Keto-B Cream

Keto-B Cream is used in the treatment and management of the following conditions:

  • Fungal skin infections with inflammation: Keto-B Cream helps treat fungal infections like ringworm, athlete's foot, and jock itch when the skin is also highly inflamed, red, swollen, and itchy.
  • Infected eczema or dermatitis: Keto-B Cream helps clear fungal infections that develop on top of eczema or dermatitis, while simultaneously soothing the underlying skin irritation.
  • Seborrhoeic dermatitis with fungal involvement: Keto-B Cream may help manage seborrhoeic dermatitis (a condition causing flaky, itchy, and inflamed skin, commonly affecting the scalp and face) when fungal overgrowth contributes to the symptoms.

Key Benefits

Keto-B Cream provides relief from fungal skin infections by addressing both the fungal cause and the associated inflammation.

  • Relieves Itching and Skin Discomfort: It provides relief from intense itching and burning sensations associated with fungal skin infections. By targeting the underlying fungus and reducing the inflammatory response, it helps soothe irritated skin and improves daily comfort.
  • Reduces Redness and Swelling: It helps reduce visible signs of inflammation, including redness and swelling. This combination treatment supports the healing process, helps restore the skin’s natural appearance, and reduces the risk of the infection spreading to other areas.

How Keto-B Cream Works

Keto-B Cream contains beclomethasone dipropionate and ketoconazole, which work together to treat fungal skin infections while reducing associated inflammation, itching, and irritation. Ketoconazole is an antifungal agent that directly targets the fungus causing the infection. It attacks the outer layer of the fungus, stopping it from surviving and spreading on your skin. Beclomethasone dipropionate is a corticosteroid that helps reduce the uncomfortable inflammatory symptoms associated with the infection. It works by calming the body's reaction that causes redness, swelling, and itching. Together, these two ingredients help clear the infection while providing relief from skin discomfort.

Keto-B Cream contains Ketoconazole and Beclomethasone dipropionate. Ketoconazole works by damaging the fungal cell membranes that are essential for their survival as they prevent the entry of unwanted substances into the cells and stop the leakage of cell contents. Thus, kills fungi and clears the fungal infection. Beclomethasone dipropionate works by acting inside skin cells and inhibits the release of certain chemical messengers in the body that cause redness, itching, and swelling.Â
