Dr. Liu Wan
Antifungal ointment exerts effects of insecticidal action, anti-inflammatory activity, blood circulation promotion, and detoxification. It is used to treat various skin diseases caused by viral or fungal infections, such as psoriasis, damp-toxin dermatosis, and tinea (e.g., tinea corporis). The ointment comprises multiple ingredients, including camphor, lithospermum root, borneol, sulfur, and peach kernel. Patients should use this medication under the guidance of a physician to ensure rapid recovery.
