A member asked:

Can kenacomb be used on the face?!

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Not advised.: Ketacomb cream is a combination of Nystatin (an antifungal), neomycin and gramicidin (both antibacterials) and triamcinolone (a steroid). Triamcinolone is too strong a steroid for use on the face. I discourage use of these "combo" creams anyway; it's better to treat the specific problem, whatever it is, with a cream made specifically for that problem.
