Can I use a steroid cream along with Kozol Cream?
It's best to apply a mild corticosteroid ointment like hydrocortisone cream/ointment in the morning and use Kozol Cream in the evening. Gradually reduce the corticosteroid application over 2-3 weeks. However, if you have used a potent corticosteroid for seborrheic dermatitis, wait at least 2 weeks before applying Kozol Cream to prevent skin sensitization.

Wash the affected area thoroughly with water and then dry it. Always wash your hands carefully (until and unless your hands are also affected) after applying Kozol Cream, which helps prevent infection spread to other areas or people.

You should continue using Kozol Cream for as long as advised by your doctor. Generally, it is used for 2-4 weeks for jock itch and sweat rash, while for Athlete's foot, it is used for 2-6 weeks.
