Pharmacist's Advice
MYCODERM 1% is an antifungal medicine, not a general-purpose cream for every itchy or red skin condition.
Avoid using steroid-containing combination creams for an undiagnosed rash, as steroids can sometimes mask or worsen fungal infections. If the rash does not improve with appropriate antifungal treatment, spreads, repeatedly returns or the diagnosis is uncertain, consult a doctor or dermatologist.
