Mycosis-KT Ointment is a combination medication which contains ketoconazole, tolnaftate, clobetasol propionate, neomycin, iodochlorhydroxyquinoline, and dexpanthenol. It effectively treats skin infections by stopping fungal growth, inhibiting inflammation and bacterial survival, and promoting wound healing through the combined actions of its antifungal, antibacterial, anti-inflammatory, and skin-repairing properties.

In some cases, Mycosis-KT Ointment may cause side effects such as skin peeling, dryness, burning sensation, irritation, stinging sensation, itching, and redness at the application site. Most of these side effects do not require medical attention and will resolve gradually. However, you are advised to talk to your doctor if you experience these side effects persistently.
