Post a properly focussed picture of the current skin problem. There r plenty of fungal infections of skin
Hello, I work in a very sweaty environment, I recently had a ringworm outbreak, I used EBERNET and it worked perfectly fine for me, On the recommendation of a few friends who suggested to use anti-fungal soap for a few days to ensure that the spores are completely eliminated from my body. Are there any effective anti-fungal soaps or shampoos that I can use to treat ringworm infection? Is there a method to determine if my scalp is affected by ringworm's? If I do happen to have this, What should be my next set of actions to treat ringworm's on scalp, before visiting a hospital/clinic? Regards, PATIENT

FAQs

Q. How to use Biospor 1% Cream?

Before using Biospor 1% Cream, clean and dry the affected area. Gently and thoroughly massage it into the skin. Be careful not to get the medication in your eyes or mouth. Use Biospor 1% Cream once daily, preferably at night before going to bed, for two to three weeks or as advised by your doctor. If Biospor 1% Cream gets in your eyes accidentally, wash with plenty of water and call your doctor if your eyes are irritated.

Q. For how long do I need to use Biospor 1% Cream?

Symptoms generally get reduced or get completely cured within 2 to 4 weeks. Use Biospor 1% Cream until the symptoms get cured and then for two more weeks after symptoms disappear to avoid recurrence of the infection.

Q. What measures should be taken for a fast recovery?

Keep the affected skin areas clean and dry but avoid excessive rubbing. The itchiness may give you an urge to scratch but avoid scratching as it will damage the surface of the skin, spreading the infection further. Always wash your hands after treating the infection to prevent it from spreading. Wash your socks, stockings, and tights thoroughly in hot water to remove any shed skin or fungal spores. Change your footwear daily, if possible.

Q. When should Biospor 1% Cream not be used?
