About Topderm Plus Cream

Topderm Plus Cream is used to treat fungal and bacterial infections of the skin. Also, it helps to reduce swelling, itching, and redness caused by certain skin problems. Fungal infection can affect our skin and cause infection, which may be contagious (spread from one person to another). Bacterial skin infections occur when bacteria enter the body through a scratch or cut in the skin. They often begin as small, red bumps that increase in size slowly.

Topderm Plus Cream consists of Clotrimazole (antifungal), Fluocinolone acetonide (corticosteroid), and Neomycin (antibacterial). Clotrimazole works by damaging the fungal cell membranes and killing fungi. Fluocinolone acetonide acts inside skin cells and inhibits the release of certain chemical messengers in the body that cause redness, itching, and swelling. Neomycin inhibits the production of essential proteins required for bacteria to grow, multiply and increase in numbers, thereby destroying the bacteria.

Topderm Plus Cream is only for external use. Use Topderm Plus Cream as prescribed by the doctor. Avoid contact of Topderm Plus Cream with nose, ears, mouth, or eyes. If Topderm Plus Cream accidentally comes into contact with these areas, rinse with water thoroughly. Topderm Plus Cream may cause side effects such as acne, skin peeling and itching, pain, swelling, redness, irritation, or burning sensation at the application site. Most of these side effects of Topderm Plus Cream do not require medical attention and gradually resolve over time. However, if the side effects worsen or persist, please consult your doctor.

Please tell your doctor if you are allergic to clotrimazole, fluocinolone acetonide, neomycin, or any other medicines. Please consult a doctor before using Topderm Plus Cream for children. Also, tell your doctor if you are pregnant or breastfeeding. Do not wrap or cover the treated area with airtight dressings.
