Frequently Asked Questions
What is Mycocort Cream used for?
Mycocort Cream is used to treat fungal infections of the skin, such as ringworm and athlete’s foot, especially when they are accompanied by symptoms like redness, swelling, or itching.
How does Mycocort Cream work?
Miconazole kills fungi by disrupting their cell membranes, while Clobetasol reduces inflammation, itching, and redness, making the cream effective for fungal infections with inflammatory components.
Can I use Mycocort Cream for eczema?
Mycocort Cream can be used to treat fungal infections with inflammatory symptoms, but it is not a first-line treatment for eczema alone. For eczema without fungal infection, your healthcare provider may recommend a different corticosteroid cream.
What should I do if my symptoms don’t improve?
If your symptoms do not improve after 2 weeks of using Mycocort Cream, stop use and consult your healthcare provider for further advice or alternative treatments.
Can I use Mycocort Cream on broken skin?
Avoid applying Mycocort Cream to broken or damaged skin, as this can increase the risk of side effects. Use the cream only on intact skin.
Can Mycocort Cream be used on the face?
Mycocort Cream should not be used on sensitive areas like the face unless directed by a healthcare provider. The skin on the face is thinner and more prone to the side effects of corticosteroids.

Mycocort Cream is particularly useful in treating fungal infections that are complicated by eczema or other inflammatory skin conditions.
