Product Description
Ketoford Plus Cream is a topical prescription medicine used for the treatment of fungal skin infections accompanied by inflammation and itching. It combines Ketoconazole, an antifungal agent, with Beclometasone Dipropionate, a corticosteroid that helps reduce redness, swelling, and irritation.
Fungal infections can affect different areas of the body and may cause symptoms such as itching, redness, scaling, burning sensation, and discomfort.
