Scania 1% Soap belongs to the class of drugs called antifungals used in the treatment, prevention, and control of fungal infections, flaky discoloured patches on the back and chest and infections in neutropenia (low count of neutrophils, a type of white blood cells) or aids patients. Fungal infection is a skin disease in which a fungus attacks the tissue and causes infection. Fungal infections may be contagious (spread from one person to another).
