Q. What is Ketonol Dusting Powder used for?
Ketonol Dusting Powder is used to treat skin infections which may appear on the feet (Athlete’s foot), in the groin area (jock itch), or between skin folds (sweat rash infected with a yeast infection “thrush”). It is also used for candida infections of skin and nails. It rapidly relieves the itching caused due to these fungal infections.
Q. Is Ketonol Dusting Powder a steroid cream?
No, Ketonol Dusting Powder is not a steroid cream. It is an anti-fungal medicine which belongs to the imidazole class of medicines. It works by killing the fungi or by preventing the growth of fungi that cause infection.

The common side effects are application site burning, redness, and itching.

Q. Can I use a steroid cream along with Ketonol Dusting Powder?
It is recommended that you use a mild steroid ointment like hydrocortisone cream/ointment in the morning and use Ketonol Dusting Powder in the evening. You can then stop using the steroid cream gradually over 2-3 weeks. But, if you have used a potent corticosteroid for seborrheic dermatitis, maintain at least a gap of 2 weeks before you apply Ketonol Dusting Powder to prevent skin sensitization.
Q. How should Ketonol Dusting Powder be applied?
Wash the affected area thoroughly with water and then dry it. Wash your hands carefully (until and unless your hands are also affected) after applying Ketonol Dusting Powder. This will prevent the infection from spreading to other parts of the body or other people.

You should use Ketonol Dusting Powder for as long as advised by your doctor. Generally, it is to be used for 2-4 weeks for jock itch and sweat rash and 2-6 weeks for Athlete’s foot. Do not stop using it even if your symptoms have disappeared because the infection may reappear if not properly treated.

If you forget to use Ketonol Dusting Powder, do not worry and continue using Ketonol Dusting Powder as soon as you remember. However, if you are not sure and have any other doubts, please consult your doctor.
