Frequently asked Questions about Tufderm Cream

Question over 5 years ago

Can Tufderm cause yeast infections?

Dr Anjum Mujawar MBBS, MBBS , Emergency Medicine

No, Tufderm does not cause yeast infections. It has not been reported by the patients who are taking this drug.

Question almost 6 years ago

How does Tufderm work?

Dr. Haleema Yezdani MBBS , General Physician

Tufderm contains clobetasol which is presumed to work by promoting the induction of inhibitory proteins (lipocortins) in the body. Lipocortins prevents the release of arachidonic acid which causes synthesis and release of certain chemicals such as histamine, leukotrienes, and prostaglandins that causes inflammation. In this way Tufderm prevents the skin inflammation which provides relief to the patient from rash, itching, and redness.

Question about 5 years ago

Can Tufderm be used for jock itch?

Dr. Mayank Yadav MBBS , General Physician

No, Tufderm alone should not be used for jock itch also known as tinea cruris because it is a fungal infection and Tufderm is not an antifungal agent and it is not effective against fungi. Hence Tufderm should not be used for the treatment of jock itch. For the treatment of jock itch, you can use a combination of Tufderm and antifungal drugs such as miconazole and fluconazole.
