Ketorom Lotion is an antifungal medication used to treat fungal infections of the skin, such as athlete's foot, thrush, and ringworm. Ketorom Lotion belongs to a group of medicines called antifungals. It is used to treat fungal infections of the skin. It works by killing the fungus that causes infections such as athlete's foot, thrush and ringworm.
Ketorom Lotion is an antifungal medication. It kills and stops the growth of the fungi by destroying its cell membrane thereby treating your skin infection.
What is Ketorom Lotion used for?
Ketorom Lotion is indicated for treating fungal skin infections including athlete's foot (foot), jock itch (groin), and sweat rash (with a yeast infection, known as thrush). It can also be used to treat candida skin and nail infections. It provides rapid relief from itching associated with these fungal infections.

Can I use a steroid cream along with Ketorom Lotion?
It is recommended to use a mild steroid ointment like hydrocortisone cream/ointment in the morning and Ketorom Lotion in the evening. Gradually reduce the steroid cream over 2-3 weeks. However, if you have used a potent corticosteroid for seborrheic dermatitis, maintain a 2-week gap before applying Ketorom Lotion to avoid skin sensitization.

Wash the affected area thoroughly with water and then dry it. Carefully wash your hands (until and unless your hands are also affected) after applying Ketorom Lotion to prevent infection spread to other parts of the body or others.

Use Ketorom Lotion for as long as prescribed by your doctor. Generally, it is used for 2-4 weeks for jock itch and sweat rash, and 2-6 weeks for athlete's foot. Do not stop using it even if symptoms disappear because the infection may reappear if left untreated.
