How It Works
Ketoconazole inhibits fungal cell membrane formation, eliminating fungi. Clobetasol propionate, a potent corticosteroid, reduces inflammation by suppressing immune responses and inflammatory mediators. Neomycin sulfate kills susceptible bacteria by inhibiting protein synthesis, addressing the bacterial component of skin infections.
Dosage

|---|---|---|

| Children | Once daily | 5-7 days |
Apply a thin layer to affected areas. Gently massage until absorbed. Wash hands after application unless treating hand areas.
Duration of Action
Skineal Cream begins working within hours of application. Anti-inflammatory effects become noticeable within 12-24 hours, with itching and redness reduction. Antimicrobial effects require 2-3 days for visible improvement. Complete treatment course is necessary for full resolution and prevention of recurrence.
Side Effects
Common side effects include temporary stinging or burning sensation upon application. Prolonged use may cause skin thinning, striae, or telangiectasia. Less common effects include contact dermatitis, hypopigmentation, or secondary infection. Discontinue if irritation worsens or sensitization occurs.
Warning
Not for long-term continuous use due to potent steroid content. Avoid application near eyes, mucous membranes, or open wounds. Do not cover with occlusive dressings unless directed by physician. Systemic absorption possible with extensive application. Discontinue if skin irritation or hypersensitivity reactions develop.
Pregnancy and Breastfeeding
Use during pregnancy only when clearly needed and when potential benefits outweigh risks. Avoid application over large surface areas if pregnant. Not recommended during breastfeeding, or avoid applying to chest area if breastfeeding. Consult healthcare provider before use.
