Kevon Soap is a potent antifungal medication specifically formulated to treat various fungal infections of the skin. It is effective in conditions like ringworm, jock itch, athlete’s foot, seborrheic dermatitis (dry, flaky skin on the face, scalp, chest, upper back, or ears), and pityriasis (a skin rash that causes scaly, discolored patches on the chest, back, legs, and arms).
Fungal infections are skin diseases where a fungus invades the tissue, causing an infection that can be contagious. Kevon Soap contains Ketoconazole, a powerful antifungal agent that works by disrupting the fungal cell membranes, essential for the fungus's survival. This action prevents the entry of harmful substances into the cells and stops the leakage of cell contents, ultimately killing the fungi and yeast.
Kevon Soap is intended for external use only, and its usage should be as per the guidance of a healthcare professional. It effectively clears fungal infections, providing relief from the associated symptoms such as cracking, burning, scaling, and itching of the skin.
