About Derminol Ointment
Derminol Ointment is used to treat fungal and bacterial skin infections. It treats skin inflammation due to allergies or irritants, eczema, psoriasis, ringworm, athlete’s foot, jock itch, candidiasis, insect bites, and stings.
Derminol Ointment contains Clotrimazole, Neomycin and Beclomethasone. It works by killing infection-causing bacteria and fungi. Besides this, it blocks the production of prostaglandins that make the affected area red, swollen, and itchy.

Do not use Derminol Ointment on open wounds, blisters and lesions. Do not apply a dressing or bandage to the affected area, as this increases the risk of side effects. Pregnant and breastfeeding mothers should consult a doctor before starting Derminol Ointment.
