Nadoxin Plus Cream is used to treat fungal and bacterial skin infections. It works by killing infection-causing bacteria and fungi and inhibiting the release of certain chemical messengers that cause redness, itching, and swelling. In some cases, this medicine may cause side effects such as peeling, dry skin, or burning sensation at the application site. It is for external use only.
The skin on my legs is peeling, spreading, and becoming rough. How can I treat it?

Peeling and rough skin on the legs can be due to dryness, a fungal infection, or a skin condition like eczema. Keep the area clean and well moisturized with a gentle, fragrance-free cream, and avoid hot showers or harsh soaps that can worsen dryness. Do not scratch or peel the skin, as it can spread or get infected. If it looks red, itchy, or spreading, you may need an antifungal or medicated cream, so it is best to consult a doctor for proper diagnosis and treatment.
I have had an infection around one eye for the past 2 days, possibly due to an insect bite. My doctor prescribed a combination cream (nadifloxacin, terbinafine, and mometasone), but the infection seems to be worsening. What should I do?

If the swelling or infection around your eye is getting worse despite using the prescribed cream, it is important not to continue applying it without review, especially since the eye area is very sensitive. You should stop self-medication and consult your doctor again, because the condition may need a different treatment. In the meantime, keep the area clean, avoid rubbing or touching it, and do not apply any new creams or home remedies.
