How Ketostar Lotion works
Ketostar Anti Dandruff Lotion is a combination of two antifungal medicines: Ketoconazole and Zinc pyrithione. It works by destroying the cell membrane of fungi that cause dandruff. Ketoconazole works by breaking down the cell membrane of fungi, effectively killing them, while zinc pyrithione controls fungal growth and reduces irritation, redness, and flaking. Together, they combat fungal infections, soothe the affected area, and prevent recurrence, promoting healthier skin and scalp. Use as directed for best results.

Hello, I work in a very sweaty environment, I recently had a ringworm outbreak, I used EBERNET and it worked perfectly fine for me, On the recommendation of a few friends who suggested to use anti-fungal soap for a few days to ensure that the spores are completely eliminated from my body. Are there any effective anti-fungal soaps or shampoos that I can use to treat ringworm infection? Is there a method to determine if my scalp is affected by ringworm's? If I do happen to have this, What should be my next set of actions to treat ringworm's on scalp, before visiting a hospital/clinic? Regards, PATIENT
