Ketoconazole works by controlling the growth of fungi on the skin, helping to reduce symptoms such as itching, scaling, redness, and irritation. This medicated soap is intended for therapeutic use and should not be used as a regular cosmetic soap.

How it Works

Ketoconazole is an antifungal agent that works by inhibiting the growth of fungi.
