How Dermiford Cream works

Dermiford Cream is a combination of five medicines: Clobetasol, Gentamicin, Clioquinol (Iodochlorhydroxyquin), Ketoconazole, and Tolnaftate. 

Clobetasol is a steroid. It works by blocking the production of certain chemical messengers that make the skin red, swollen and itchy. 

Gentamicin is an antibiotic which kills bacteria by preventing the synthesis of essential proteins required by bacteria to carry out vital functions. 

Ketoconazole, Clioquinol, and Tolnaftate are antifungal medicines. 
Ketoconazole kills and stops the growth of the fungi by destroying its cell membrane, thereby treating your skin infection. 
Clioquinol acts by interacting with DNA synthesis thus killing the fungi that are responsible for causing the infection. 
Tolnaftate prevents growth of fungal cell-wall. It also prevents forming fungal colonies. This is how it causes death of fungi and relieves your infection.
