Four Derm Af Cream 5gm contains three active ingredients which work together to manage skin infections:

Clobetasol Propionate (0.05%): This potent corticosteroid reduces inflammation by inhibiting the release of substances in the body that cause inflammation and reducing the activity of immune cells in the skin.
Neomycin (0.5%): This antibacterial medicine hampers bacterial growth by binding to a specific part of bacterial cells known as the 30S ribosomal subunit, preventing them from producing proteins that they need to survive and multiply.
Miconazole (2%): As an antifungal agent, miconazole disrupts the cell membranes of fungi, causing their contents to leak out and leading to the death of fungal cells.
