About Auxicreme Cream

Auxicreme Cream is used to treat fungal infections of the skin like dry and flaky skin, thrush, dhobie itch, ringworm, jock itch and athlete's foot.

Fungal cell membranes are essential for fungus survival as they prevent the entry of unwanted substances into the cells and stop the leakage of cell contents. Thereby, it clears the fungal infection.
