About Scatner B Cream

Scatner B Cream is a prescription topical medicine used to treat inflammatory fungal skin infections. It is prescribed when fungal infections like ringworm, jock itch, or athlete's foot become highly irritated, red, itchy, and swollen. This combination formula helps target both the underlying fungal infection and the painful, uncomfortable inflammation that accompanies it.

To get the best results, you must apply this medication consistently at the exact frequency recommended by your doctor, which is typically once or twice daily. Always apply it to clean, dry skin. To help your skin heal faster, try to keep the affected area clean, dry, and cool, and avoid wearing tight, synthetic clothing that traps sweat.

While using Scatner B Cream, you may experience mild, temporary local side effects such as a slight burning sensation, skin dryness, or mild peeling. These symptoms are usually harmless and go away on their own. However, if you notice severe skin irritation, blistering, or signs of skin thinning, stretch marks, or worsening irritation, you should contact your doctor right away.

Do not use this medicine if you have viral skin infections like chickenpox or shingles, or tuberculosis of the skin. Talk to your doctor or pharmacist before starting this treatment if you have a history of skin allergies, skin thinning, or poor blood circulation. It is also important not to apply this cream on open wounds or severely broken skin.

Avoid applying other medicated creams, ointments, or cosmetics to the same area unless your doctor advises you to do so, as this can lead to unwanted interactions. If you are pregnant, planning to breastfeed, or treating a child, consult your doctor or pharmacist first to make sure this medication is safe for you to use.

Uses of Scatner B Cream

Here are the common uses of Scatner B Cream:

  • Inflamed ringworm (Tinea Corporis): Helps clear the fungal infection on the body while rapidly reducing the red, scaly, and itchy ring-shaped patches.
  • Inflamed jock itch (Tinea Cruris): Relieves the intense burning, itching, and redness in the groin area caused by fungal growth.
  • Inflamed athlete's foot (Tinea Pedis): Treats fungal infections between the toes, soothing painful cracking, peeling, and inflamed skin.
  • Eczema with secondary fungal infection: Calms severe eczema flare-ups that have been complicated by an active fungal infection.

Key Benefits

Here are the key benefits of using Scatner B Cream:

  • Rapid Symptom Relief: This medicine provides rapid relief from intense itching, burning, and skin discomfort. By addressing both the infection and the inflammation simultaneously, it allows you to feel comfortable much faster than using a standard single-ingredient cream.
  • Restores Skin Appearance: It helps restore your skin's natural appearance by reducing visible swelling, redness, and scaling. This makes it easier to go about your daily activities without the constant distraction of skin irritation.
  • Prevents the Spread of Infection: By clearing the underlying fungi, it prevents the infection from spreading to other parts of your body or to other people. It also helps protect the skin barrier from further damage caused by constant scratching.

Directions for Use

  • Follow your doctor's instructions on the dosage and timing of this medication, to improve effectiveness.
  • Take a small amount of Scatner B Cream on the fingertip and apply it as a thin layer on the clean and dry affected area.
  • Wash your hands before and after using Scatner B Cream if hands are not the affected area to prevent the spread of infection.
  • Avoid contact with the nose, mouth or eyes. In case of accidental contact with these areas, rinse with water thoroughly.

How Scatner B Cream Works

Scatner B Cream contains two active medicines that work together to treat inflammatory fungal skin infections. Sertaconazole is an antifungal medicine. It works by blocking the production of ergosterol, an essential component of the fungal cell membrane. Without enough ergosterol, the fungal cell membrane becomes unstable, causing the fungus to stop growing and eventually die. Beclometasone is a topical corticosteroid that helps reduce inflammation. It works by blocking the release of inflammatory chemicals in the skin, helping relieve redness, swelling, itching, and irritation associated with fungal skin infections. Because topical beclometasone is generally considered a moderate-potency corticosteroid, it should be used only for the duration prescribed by your doctor to minimise the risk of steroid-related side effects such as skin thinning. Together, these medicines treat the underlying fungal infection while providing relief from the associated inflammation and discomfort.
