A member asked:

Can you use ketoconazole for waxing rash?

Dr. Keith Ramsey answered

Specializes in Pediatrics - Adolescent Medicine

No: Ketoconazole is an anti-fungal. Use Hydrocortisone cream three times daily as needed for the dermatitis from waxing. If you have pustules you might need an antibiotic.
