1. Antifungal Action: The antifungal ointment effectively inhibits and kills fungi on the skin surface, such as those causing tinea capitis, tinea pedis, tinea manuum, and tinea cruris, thereby relieving or eliminating skin discomfort caused by fungal infections. 2. Anti-inflammatory and Itch-relieving Effects: For skin inflammation caused by fungal infection or other factors, the ointment rapidly alleviates symptoms such as redness, swelling, and itching, providing comfort to the patient. 3. Insecticidal and Itch-relieving Action: Its special ingredients also possess insecticidal properties that help eliminate small insects or parasites on the skin, reducing itching caused by insect bites or parasitic infestations. 4. Promoting Blood Circulation and Detoxification: By enhancing blood circulation and aiding in the removal of toxins from the body, the ointment helps accelerate skin metabolism and promotes the repair and healing of damaged skin.
