Ketoconazole cream 2% is a non-steroidal antifungal medication. It treats certain fungal and yeast infections of the skin by killing the fungus or yeast or stopping it from growing. In Canada, it may be prescribed or recommended in dermatology and primary care for appropriate fungal skin infections.
Ketoconazole cream 2% is used on the skin for:
Sometimes, yes. Ketoconazole cream may be used on the face only if the affected area is on the face (for example, seborrheic dermatitis or a fungal infection diagnosed by a clinician). Apply a thin layer and keep it away from the eyes, lips, and inside the nose. If it causes severe burning, swelling, or a rash, stop using it and contact a clinician.
No. Ketoconazole cream is an antifungal medication, not a corticosteroid. It does not work like steroid creams used to calm inflammation in conditions such as eczema or psoriasis.
If you have been using a steroid cream, ointment, or lotion on the same area (for example, betamethasone or hydrocortisone), ask your doctor or pharmacist how to stop it and when to start ketoconazole cream. Do not change your steroid use on your own if you are unsure.
Wash and dry the affected skin. Apply a thin layer to the affected area and the skin just around it, then rub it in gently. Wash your hands after applying it, unless you are treating your hands.
If there is no improvement after the recommended treatment period, a clinician should review the diagnosis.
| Condition | Used to treat with ketoconazole cream 2%? | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Ringworm (tinea corporis) | Yes | On-label skin use. |
| Tinea versicolor | Yes | On-label skin use. |
| Yeast infection (skin / cutaneous candidiasis) | Yes | On-label for yeast infection of the skin. Not for vaginal yeast infection. |
| Seborrheic dermatitis | Yes | Often affects the scalp and face; use as directed and avoid the eyes. |
| Pimples (acne vulgaris) | - | Not used for typical acne. If bumps are due to yeast (Malassezia) folliculitis, antifungals may be used under a clinician's guidance (off-label). |
| Rosacea | - | Not a standard treatment for rosacea. |
| Eczema | - | Not a standard treatment for eczema (eczema is usually inflammatory, not fungal). |
| Psoriasis | - | Not a standard treatment for psoriasis. |
| Hair loss | - | Not used to treat hair loss. If scalp symptoms are due to seborrheic dermatitis, treating the rash may help with discomfort or flaking, but it is not a hair-loss treatment. |
Most side effects happen where the cream is applied. Stop using it and get medical advice if you develop signs of an allergic reaction.
Store at 20°C to 25°C (68°F to 77°F). Keep out of reach of children.
Ketoconazole cream 2% contains 20 mg of ketoconazole per 1 g of cream (2% w/w). Inactive ingredients vary by manufacturer.
Important: Some formulations contain sodium sulfite, which can cause allergic-type reactions (including severe reactions) in susceptible people, especially people with asthma.
I live in Whitehorse, and I'm not sure whether my address is on a regular delivery route. How can I find out if you can ship this ketoconazole cream to me?
Delivery availability for a remote address can vary. Enter your full Whitehorse shipping address and postal code at checkout to see whether the order can be accepted for shipment.
My cream arrived in Quebec City after being outside during a very cold spell. What should I check before I use it?
Check that the tube is intact, has not leaked, and that the cream has not separated, changed colour, or developed an unusual texture. Store it at 20°C to 25°C.
Before I place an order from Edmonton, can I use my postal code to check whether this cream can be shipped to my address?
Yes. Enter your Edmonton address and postal code at checkout to check whether shipment to that destination is available before you complete the order.
I share a mailbox with other people. Will the outside of my package identify the ketoconazole cream?
Orders are sent in discreet packaging, with no sensitive content or product details visible on the outside. The medicine information remains inside the package.
I've been applying the cream as directed, but the rash has not improved. Should I keep using it longer or apply more each day?
Do not increase the amount or extend treatment on your own. A rash that does not improve may not be caused by a fungus or may need a different treatment, so it should be assessed by a health professional.
