I have a fungal skin infection and have been using Castor NF cream. Is this cream appropriate for treating my condition?

Asked by Male, 26 ยท 7 days ago

Castor NF cream is not appropriate for a simple fungal skin infection because it contains a strong steroid that may mask or worsen the infection while thinning your skin. It is safest to use a plain antifungal cream, such as terbinafine or clotrimazole, and to consult a doctor or dermatologist to confirm the diagnosis and receive proper treatment.
