r. I want to ask. Can ecocort cream be applied to facial skin or not? Like acne, itchy facial skin? Can ecocort be used for facial skin?
1 Answer:
Hello,
Ecocorg cream is a type of ointment that contains drugs, namely econazole and triamcinolone. Econazole is a drug used for fungal infections of the skin.
This ointment is not intended to treat acne. The indications for the use of this ointment are for:
Ringworm fungal infection. Athlete's foot Therefore you should not use this medication for your acne.
This cream is applied to the infected area according to the doctor's advice. Due to the presence of triamcinolone, this drug can indeed have the effect of reducing itching and swelling.
Avoid self-medication.
I hope this helps.
