How Topderm Plus Cream works
Topderm Plus Cream is a combination of three medicines: Clotrimazole, Fluocinolone acetonide and Neomycin which treat skin infections. Clotrimazole is an antifungal which stops the growth of fungi by preventing them from forming their own protective covering. Fluocinolone acetonide is a steroid medicine. It blocks the production of certain chemical messengers (prostaglandins) that make the skin red, swollen and itchy. Neomycin is an antibiotic. It kills bacteria by preventing them from reproducing and repairing themselves.
