Can I Use Keton Soap In Addition To KZ Lotion For Fungal Infection?
Hi
I have fungal infection in my neck region . My doctor said that it is tinea versicolor and suggested KZ lotion to be applied 20 mins before bath. Can I use keton soap in addition to this?? I am 35 yr old female and I get the infection very easily and it takes lots of time to go away. Kindly help.

Hi,
As you said you have fungal infection .. tinea versicolor on neck and chest. It is a contagious skin disease. Self infection may be there, which takes long time to cotrol the disease. Antifungal tab like ketoconazole for 2 to 3 weeks may taken. Ketoconazole cream may be applied. Ketoconazole shampoo may donea as the yeast reside on scalp. You may use ketoconazole soap like keton soap for bath.
Clothes should be kept in hot water before washing. Relapse may be prevented.
I hope you got my answer.
