Zydiwon Cream is an antifungal that is primarily used to treat fungal infections of nails and skin such as ringworm, jock itch and athlete’s foot, seborrheic dermatitis (dry, flaky skin on face, scalp, chest, upper back, or ears) and pityriasis (a type of skin rash that causes scaly, discoloured patches on chest, back, legs and arms). It works by stopping producing a chemical called 'ergosterol' in fungi that causes fungal infection. Without ergosterol, the fungus cannot survive. As a result, infection-causing fungi die. At the same time, Phenoxyethanol acts as a preservative.
