Has anyone used Ketoconazole 2% Cream 15gm to treat severe athlete's foot? I'm worried about the side effects.
I've been struggling with athlete's foot for months, and my doctor prescribed Ketoconazole 2% Cream 15gm. I'm a bit nervous about the potential side effects, especially the serious ones. Has anyone else used this cream? How did it work for you? Were there any side effects, and if so, how bad were they? I just want to be prepared before I start using it.

I was only using it for a week and stopped because of the burning. It was a bit too much for me. I wish I would have known that inside of a week I wouldn't feel the burning. I might try again for a longer period and see if the burning stops. If not, I might try an alternative.
I swear by ketoconazole for athlete’s foot. I’ve used it a few times and it always clears it up. The only downside is the burning, but it’s worth it for me. Just be careful and if you have any doubts, talk to your doctor.
I used it for a similar problem and the burning sensation was manageable. It was a bit annoying, but the cream worked pretty well, and I didn't experience any serious side effects. Just make sure to follow the doctor's instructions carefully
Be careful with this stuff. I used it for a fungal infection and it was the worst burning I've ever felt. I stopped using it after a day and went to my doctor who gave me an alternative that worked just as well without all the pain. I would suggest being cautious and maybe trying a different brand or talking to your doctor about alternatives.
I've had really bad luck with antifungal creams. I’ve also tried ketoconazole but it didn’t work for me. I ended up with antifungal pills to completely clear out the infection. Maybe it’s worth asking your doctor about oral medications if the cream doesn’t work.
I’ve used it for seborrheic dermatitis and it helped a lot. I didn’t have any serious side effects, just a bit of irritation at first, but it went away quickly. I would recommend it, just be cautious and follow the instructions carefully.
I got the cream for jock itch and it was awful! I had the burning but also a rash that just got worse and worse. I ended up stopping the cream and seeing a doctor. The doctor said that it was an allergic reaction. So, if you get the cream and have a bad reaction, stop and see a doctor.
I used the generic, not the brand name. I think it’s more reliable, but the burning sensation was horrible.
