Blufree B Cream is a dermatological medication primarily used to treat fungal infections, such as athlete's foot (ringworm of the foot), jock itch (ringworm of the groin), ringworm, and seborrheic dermatitis (dry, flaking skin or dandruff). Fungal infection occurs when a fungus invades and affects the tissue on the skin. Fungi can live in the air, soil, water, and plants. Symptoms of a fungal infection include skin rash, irritation, redness and scaling of the skin.

Blufree B Cream is composed of two medicines: Ketoconazole (antifungal) and Beclometasone (steroid). Ketoconazole is used to treat various fungal infections. It stops the growth of fungi by causing damage and leakage to the fungal cell membrane. Beclometasone is a corticosteroid that blocks the production of prostaglandins (chemical messengers) that make the affected area red, swollen and itchy. Beclometasone effectively treats redness and itchiness eczema (inflamed and itchy skin), psoriasis (skin cells build up and form scales and itchy, dry patches), and dermatitis (red and itchy skin).

Your doctor will advise the appropriate dose that suits your infection. Blufree B Cream has common side effects as every drug does. These side effects include itching, dryness, redness, and a burning sensation at the application site. These side effects usually go away with time and do not require medical attention. However, if the side effects are persistent, please see a doctor.

Let your doctor know if you have any allergic reactions to Blufree B Cream or any other medications. Avoid going near naked flames since Blufree B Cream can cause fire easily while being treated with topical forms. Pregnant and breastfeeding mothers should consult the doctor before starting Blufree B Cream. Inform your doctor before using Blufree B Cream if you have any skin infections or previous medical history.

Blufree B Cream is used to treat fungal infections and consists of Ketoconazole (antifungal) and Beclometasone (steroid). Ketoconazole treats various fungal infections, such as jock itch, athlete's foot, seborrheic dermatitis (dry, flaky skin on the face, scalp, chest, upper back or ears) and pityriasis (a type of skin rash that causes scaly, discoloured patches on chest, back, legs and arms). Ketoconazole stops the growth of fungi by causing damage and leakage to the fungal cell membrane. Beclometasone belongs to the class of corticosteroids. It blocks the production of prostaglandins (chemical messengers) that make the affected area red, swollen and itchy. Beclometasone effectively treats redness and itchiness eczema (inflamed and itchy skin), psoriasis (skin cells build up and form scales and itchy, dry patches), and dermatitis (red and itchy skin).
