User Reviews for ketoconazole topical

doctor prescribe this medication and it done nothing, actually made it spread even worse.

Have mustache Tinea. Doc prescribed this Ketoconazole white cream. Symptom is itching, then scabbing, then flaking with red round shallow bumps. Used cream after shaving and fungus went away in 2 uses = one day. Used for one week, then fungus came back next week. Will try to use for two weeks. But I think it will come back again.

Had syptoms similar to Rosacia and nothing seemed to help till I used this cream. Took about a week and I was thrilled with the result.

6yr old didn't always wipe well had very bad case of jock itch, doc prescribed this medication and it went away very good.

I have been using the cream for three days and the infected areas have become incredibly inflamed, itchy, and irritated. I'm experiencing some weeping/oozing, and severe discomfort.

This topical is fantastic. None of the OTC "zoles" are effective in treating my Athlete's Foot and Jock Itch conditions. Admittedly the medication did not permanently get rid of the fungi even though I used it every day until I ran out. However, what I noticed is that if I applied the topical for a few days until the itching vanishes, then it would be gone for months at a time. The next time it comes back I just apply for a few more days. I think this is a more cost-effective use of the medication since these fungal infections are virtually impossible to eliminate completely. To those of you who become worse when using the topical, it is most likely because of an allergy. If you are new to this medication do not treat the "affected" area (especially if it's Jock Itch) until after you rub some cream somewhere else to test if you are allergic to it. The topical isn't that expensive, and such a test may save you from a lot of pain. For dry scalp conditions I would not use this either. Stick to T-Gel or Head and Shoulders. This chemical has a side effect on Estrogen/Testosterone ratio. I would only use it as a last resort to treat fungal infections and nothing else.Read More Read Less

Been using for about 3 weeks for a rash on my chest. There is no change - doesn't seem to work at all

Helped tremendously. however to stop the redness and inflammation I have to use derma smooth oil at night. My Derma said I had to use both to actively treat my problem. I am african american. side effect is discoloration. my scalp has changed to a lighter color than my body or then my scalp use to be.

I had contracted ringworm from cats at the veterinary practice where I work and my dr. prescribed this cream. I've only been using it 2 days and already the rash (which was pretty big) is fading. It's still itchy though. I wish it had an anti itch ingredient along with the antifungal component but if it clears it up completely then I'm satisfied.

i was given this thru the va-miami. i have used it up to a year and finished the tube with the same results. i read on the internet that it does not penetrate the nails. i'm thinking about lamisil but read the side effects.

Used to treat itchy scalp with pustules. After a couple of weeks the pustules went away completely and itching decreased, but experienced moderate to severe hair loss.

anyone who uses this right it should help i have used this twice in 3 yrs for ringworms in different spots and inless than a week they were gone...i would recommend this product to anyone who ever gets a ringworm

Used for dryness and flaking on my face. Worked after a week of using, but the dryness and flaking came back a year later. Had to use again.

The medication has worked for me but have noticed that my skin seems to burn easier in the sun after using. Could be a coincidence.
