What's Nizoral Cream (Ketoconazole Cream)?

Nizoral Topical Cream has Ketoconazole as active ingredient. Also called Ketoconazole Cream or Ketoconazole 2 Cream, it is used to treat psoriasis as well as infections with fungi and yeasts. It works by stopping the fungi from producing a substance called ergosterol, which is an essential component of fungal cell membranes. The disruption in production of ergosterol disrupts the fungal cell membrane, causing holes to appear in it. The cell membranes of fungi are vital for their survival. They keep unwanted substances from entering the cells and stop the contents of the cells from leaking out. As ketoconazole causes holes to appear in the cell membranes, essential constituents of the fungal cells can leak out. This kills the fungi and treats the infection. Nizoral Ketoconazole cream may be prescribed to treat a number of different types of fungal and yeast infections. These include ringworm (including ringworm rash), athlete's foot (aka Tinea Pedis, which is a contagious fungal infection of the foot), jock itch rash (scientifically known as Tinea Cruris – red scaly and sometimes itchy patches between and/or around the legs), thrush infections of the skin and vagina (candidosis), and skin conditions that are caused by infection with the yeast Pityrosporum, such as seborrheic dermatitis which main symptoms include itchy, flaky skin and, redness and/or red pimples) and pityriasis versicolor. Other skin issues the cream is recommended for include Psoriasis (i.e. plaques, raised bumps filled with pus, scaly droplet lesions, white, yellow or red flaky skin as well as psoriasis symptoms surrounding the joints). This Ketoconazole Cream is known as one of the best solutions, if not the best, to what causes yeast infections. Always seek the advice of your physician or other qualified health provider with any questions you may have regarding a medical condition.

How to use Nizoral Cream?

Directions
To treat athlete's foot the cream should be applied to the affected areas twice a day, usually for a week for mild cases. More severe or extensive cases may take longer to clear up.

Can It Be Used For Eczema?

Yes. As eczema is a kind of dermatitis, also known as atopic dermatitis, and that it is a Ketoconazole 2% cream, it can be used for eczema because the main active ingredient focuses on suppressing fungi, including yeasts, itchy rashes, redness, cracking, crusting and flaking. Nizoral Cream is even more a good treatment for eczema, as it’s not uncommon to experience both seborrheic dermatitis and eczema simultaneously because one skin condition can trigger the other one and vice versa.
