MICOGEL F OINTMENT 15GM

MICOGEL F OINTMENT is used to treat skin conditions where a fungal infection is accompanied by significant redness, swelling, and itching. The detailed uses of MICOGEL F OINTMENT are as follows:

• Inflamed fungal skin infections: It helps treat conditions like ringworm, athlete's foot, and jock itch when the skin is highly irritated, red, and itchy.
• Infected eczema: It may be used when eczema patches have developed a confirmed fungal secondary infection, helping to reduce both inflammation and fungal growth. A healthcare professional should confirm that a fungal infection is present, as bacterial infections require different treatment approaches.
• Intertrigo: It treats fungal rashes that develop in skin folds, such as under the breasts or in the groin, where moisture causes redness and soreness.

MICOGEL F OINTMENT provides dual-action treatment for fungal skin infections by helping eliminate the infection while relieving uncomfortable symptoms such as itching, redness, and swelling. This combined approach helps improve comfort and supports faster recovery of affected skin.

• Rapid Relief from Skin Discomfort: The anti-inflammatory component helps reduce itching, redness, and irritation, providing quick relief and helping prevent further skin damage caused by scratching.
• Helps Clear Fungal Infection: By targeting the fungi responsible for the infection, MICOGEL F OINTMENT works at the source of the problem, helping stop the infection from spreading and supporting complete treatment.
• Supports Faster Skin Healing: As inflammation decreases and the fungal infection clears, the skin can recover more effectively, helping restore its healthy appearance and natural protective barrier.
  

Always use this medication exactly as directed by your healthcare provider. Follow these steps for safe and effective application:

• Wash your hands thoroughly with soap and water before applying the cream.
• Clean and completely dry the affected skin area.
• Apply a thin layer of the cream to the affected area and rub it in gently.
• Wash your hands again after applying the cream, unless you are treating your hands.
• Do not cover the treated area with bandages, dressings, or tight clothing unless your doctor specifically tells you to do so.
• Remember to always follow your doctor's exact instructions regarding how often and how long to use this medicine.

• Keep it dry: Fungi thrive in warm, moist environments. Always dry your skin thoroughly after bathing, paying special attention to skin folds, toes, and the groin.
• Wear breathable fabrics: Choose loose-fitting clothing made of natural fibres like cotton to allow sweat to evaporate and prevent skin friction.
• Avoid sharing personal items: To prevent spreading the infection, do not share towels, clothing, hairbrushes, or footwear with others.
• Change clothes regularly: Change your socks and underwear daily, especially after exercising or sweating heavily.

• Do not apply this cream to open wounds, deep cuts, or severely broken skin.
• Avoid getting this medication in your eyes, nose, or mouth. If contact occurs, rinse thoroughly with cool water.
• Do not use this cream for longer than the prescribed duration, as long-term use of steroids on the skin can lead to skin thinning.
• Do not use tight-fitting diapers or plastic pants on a child being treated in the diaper area, as this can increase medicine absorption and side effects.
• Check the tube's safety seal before your first use; do not use the cream if the seal is broken or punctured.
