About Fourderm Cream

Fourderm Cream is used to relieve swelling, itching, and redness caused by bacterial and fungal skin infections. Fungal infection is a skin disease in which a fungus attacks the tissue and causes infection. Bacterial infection is a condition in which harmful bacteria grow in the body and cause infection.

Fourderm Cream contains Chlorhexidine, Clobetasol, Miconazole, and Neomycin, which work together to treat skin infections. It kills bacteria and fungi that cause infection while preventing their spread. It also reduces redness, itching, and swelling, helping soothe irritated skin. This promotes faster healing and maintains skin comfort and health.

Fourderm Cream is only for external use. Some people may experience dry skin, skin rash, skin thinning, itching, swelling, redness, or a burning sensation at the site of application. Most of these side effects do not require medical attention. However, talk to your doctor if you experience these side effects persistently.

If you are known to be allergic to Fourderm Cream or any other medicines, please tell your doctor. If you are pregnant or a nursing mother, consult a doctor before using Fourderm Cream.

Jock itch that keeps returning may mean the infection has not fully cleared or needs a longer course of treatment. Keep the area clean and dry, wear loose cotton clothing, and change undergarments daily. Avoid stopping treatment too early, as this can lead to recurrence. Consult a doctor to advise on the proper antifungal medicine and duration for complete relief.

However, abdominal itching can also occur due to dry skin, allergies, eczema, or irritation, in which case Fourderm may not be suitable. It's best to consult a doctor or dermatologist to identify the exact cause of your itching. Using the cream without a proper diagnosis may not help and could sometimes worsen symptoms.

FAQs

Fourderm Cream is used to treat bacterial and fungal skin infections. It helps reduce swelling, itching, and redness.

Fourderm Cream contains Chlorhexidine, Clobetasol, Miconazole and Neomycin. Chlorhexidine is an antiseptic that kills microorganisms and prevents infection. Clobetasol is a corticosteroid that works by acting inside skin cells and inhibiting the release of certain chemical messengers in the body that cause redness, itching and swelling. Miconazole is an antifungal that works by causing holes in the fungal cell membranes that are essential for their survival, thereby killing fungi. Neomycin is an antibiotic that inhibits the production of essential proteins required for bacterial growth, thereby killing the bacteria and clearing the infection.

Yes, Fourderm Cream may stain clothing. Therefore, avoid contact of Fourderm Cream with clothes or fabric and also avoid using bleach to wash fabric that is in contact with Fourderm Cream, as it may cause a permanent stain.

No, you are not advised to use Fourderm Cream on the face, as facial skin is sensitive and prone to thinning. However, please consult a doctor before using Fourderm Cream on the face.

Fourderm Cream should be used with caution in children if prescribed by a doctor, as Fourderm Cream contains a steroid and may increase the risk of Cushing syndrome, HPA axis suppression (suppression of inflammatory and immune responses), adrenal insufficiency, delayed growth and weight gain. However, please consult a doctor before using Fourderm Cream in children.

You are recommended to use Fourderm Cream for as long as your doctor has prescribed it. However, if the condition persists or worsens after 1 week of treatment with Fourderm Cream, please consult a doctor.

You are advised to cover the treated skin area with bandages or dressings only if your doctor recommends it; otherwise, this may increase the risk of side effects.

Yes, fungal infection is a contagious skin condition that spreads from one person to another through direct skin-to-skin contact or through contact with contaminated soil or surfaces, as well as with infected animals. Therefore, it is recommended to avoid close direct contact until the infection is cleared and to avoid sharing items with the infected person, as this can also spread the infection.

No, you are not recommended to stop using Fourderm Cream without consulting your doctor, as it may worsen the condition or cause recurring infection. Therefore, take Fourderm Cream for as long as your doctor has prescribed it, and if you experience any difficulty while taking Fourderm Cream, please consult your doctor.

Fourderm Cream may cause side effects, including skin rash, dry skin, skin thinning, swelling, itching, redness, or a burning sensation at the application site. If these side effects persist or worsen, please consult your doctor.

Use Fourderm Cream as advised by the doctor. Take a small amount of Fourderm Cream on the finger and apply as a thin layer on the clean and dry affected area and surrounding skin. Avoid contact of Fourderm Cream with nose, mouth, or eyes. If Fourderm Cream comes into contact with these areas accidentally, rinse thoroughly with water. Wash your hands before and after using Fourderm Cream if your hands are not the affected area to prevent the spread of infection.

Avoid using Fourderm Cream on the face and contact with the eyes. Do not apply a bandage or dressing on the treated area, as this will increase absorption of Fourderm Cream and increase the risk of side effects. Fourderm Cream should only be used for the condition it is prescribed for and should not be used for any other condition without consulting your doctor. Do not give it to others, even if their condition appears similar.

Fourderm Cream should be used according to the dosage and duration advised by your physician. Fourderm Cream contains Clobetasol, which, when used in higher doses and for prolonged duration, can be absorbed in the blood circulation and cause Cushing's syndrome and adrenal suppression. It can cause high blood pressure, weight gain, facial rounding, and increased hair growth. Additionally, it can cause a change in skin colour at the site of application. Veins beneath the skin become visible due to the weakening and thinning of the skin. If your symptoms worsen, please consult your doctor.

Store Fourderm Cream at room temperature. Do not freeze. Replace the cap tightly after use. Keep it out of reach of children.

Fourderm Cream is contraindicated in patients with known allergy to any of its components or excipients. If you have any viral infections (e.g., herpes or chickenpox) or fungal infections (e.g., ringworm or athlete's foot), avoid using Fourderm Cream.
