Compound Ketoconazole Cream is mainly used to treat various skin conditions, as follows:

1. Fungal infectious skin diseases: This cream effectively inhibits and kills a variety of dermatophytes, such as Trichophyton rubrum and Trichophyton interdigitale, making it suitable for treating tinea infections including tinea manuum (hand fungus), tinea pedis (athlete's foot), tinea corporis (ringworm), and tinea cruris (jock itch).

2. Skin inflammation: Compound Ketoconazole Cream contains the corticosteroid clobetasol propionate, which has anti-inflammatory and antipruritic effects. It is particularly effective in treating inflammatory symptoms associated with fungal infections.

3. Other skin conditions: Additionally, under medical supervision, it can be used to treat pruritus-related skin disorders such as eczema, neurodermatitis, and pruritus. The use of Compound Ketoconazole Cream should always follow medical advice.
