Ketoconazole+beclomethasone Dipropionate+neomycin

About Ketoconazole+beclomethasone Dipropionate+neomycin

Ketoconazole+beclomethasone Dipropionate+neomycin is a dermatological medication primarily used to treat skin infections (bacterial and fungal) with associated inflammation. Bacterial skin infection occurs when bacteria penetrate through hair follicles or the broken skin and cause infection. Symptoms include redness, pain, tenderness of the skin, minor bumps or boils, rashes, blisters, cracked/dry skin, swelling, stinging or burning sensation, pus formation, and itching. Fungal infection occurs when a fungus invades and affects the tissue on the skin. Symptoms of a fungal infection include skin rash, irritation, redness and scaling of the skin.

Ketoconazole+beclomethasone Dipropionate+neomycin is composed of Ketoconazole (antifungal), Beclomethasone (steroid) and Neomycin (aminoglycoside antibiotic). Ketoconazole stops the growth of fungi by causing damage and leakage to the fungal cell membrane. Beclomethasone (Beclometasone) is a corticosteroid that blocks the production of prostaglandins (chemical messengers) that make the affected area red, swollen and itchy. Neomycin works by inhibiting the production of essential proteins that are necessary for bacteria to grow, multiply, and increase in number, thereby preventing the growth of bacteria.

Ketoconazole+beclomethasone Dipropionate+neomycin shows some side effects. These include itching, dryness, redness, and a burning sensation at the application site. These side effects usually disappear with time and do not require medical attention. However, if the side effects are persistent, please consult your doctor.

    Bacterial skin infection: Bacteria can infect broken skin or enter hair follicles to cause bacterial skin infections. Symptoms include redness, pain, tenderness of the skin, minor bumps or boils, rashes, blisters, cracked/dry skin, swelling, stinging or burning sensation, pus formation, and itching. Bacterial skin infections are generally mild and can be treated using topical antibiotics. Sometimes, for a severe infection, an oral antibiotic may be required. Common bacterial infections include cellulitis (red and swollen skin), erysipelas (large patches on the skin), impetigo (red sores on the face), folliculitis (inflammation of hair follicles), and carbuncles (pus-filled bumps).
