Halox F Cream is a combination medicine used in the treatment of skin infections. It works by killing the microorganisms that cause infection. It also blocks the release of certain chemical messengers that cause redness, swelling, and itching.
Halox F Cream is only meant for external use and should be used as advised by your doctor. You should normally wash and dry the affected area before applying a thin layer of the medicine. Avoid any contact with your eyes, nose, or mouth. Rinse it off with plenty of water in case of accidental contact. Avoid covering the treated area with airtight dressings such as bandages unless directed by a doctor.
Using of the medicine may cause burning sensation, irritation, redness, and swelling at the site of application, and skin thinning. These are temporary and usually go away with time. However, if they persist or worsen, let your doctor know.
It is not likely that other medicines you take by mouth or injection will affect the way this medicine works, but talk to your doctor before using it if you have recently used another medicine that contains a steroid or had an allergic reaction to another antifungal medicine. The medicine is not recommended for pregnant women. Pregnant and breastfeeding mothers should consult their doctors before using this medicine.
Halox F Cream is used to treat skin infections caused by bacteria such as impetigo (red sores on face), infection in the hair follicle, sycosis barbae (infection of the bearded skin), paronychia (infection of the skin surrounding a fingernail or toenail), erythrasma (infection with brown, scaly skin patches, especially in the folds of the body), etc. It may also be used to prevent infections in small cuts or wounds on your skin. Halox F Cream gives relief from pain, swelling, redness, itching, discomfort at the affected area and speeds up the healing process.

How Halox F Cream works
Halox F Cream is a combination of two medicines: Halobetasol and Fusidic Acid which treat skin infections. Halobetasol is a steroid which blocks the production of certain chemical messengers (prostaglandins) that make the skin red, swollen and itchy. Fusidic Acid is an antibiotic which kills bacteria by preventing the synthesis of essential proteins required by bacteria to carry out vital functions.

Problem of itching started in 1996 on my right hand ( below little finger). Skin dried up and started to increasing the area. Took some haemopathic medicine but no immediate relief. Anyway the affected area was cured. After 6 years again faced same problem and same affected area. Took some medicine and ointment but without any relief. Then i got posted to patiala in 2005 and i consulted skin specialist who prescribed one ointment and Levocetrizine tab. Got totally cured in a month. I was very happy. In 2012 it again appeared on the same spot. Again got medicine from Doctor but of no avail. In 2015 used ayurvedic medicine got cured but after few months it again appeared on the same spot.
