Ketoconazole can treat a number of fungal and yeast infections. Different infections can be treated with different forms of medication.

Ketoconazole cream can be used to treat athlete's foot (tinea pedis), ringworm (tinea corporis), ringworm of the groin (tinea cruris; jock itch), seborrheic dermatitis (a skin and scalp condition that causes scaly red or dry patches), yeast infections of the skin, and tinea versicolor.

Ketoconazole foam or gel is typically used to treat seborrheic dermatitis.

Ketoconazole 1% shampoo, which can be purchased over the counter, is used to treat dandruff.

Ketoconazole 2% shampoo, which is prescription only, is used to treat tinea versicolor (also known as pityriasis versicolor) and seborrheic dermatitis.

Ketoconazole cream is not an effective medication to treat toenail fungus. It is not systemically absorbed and will not penetrate the nail to kill the fungus. It may be used to treat skin infections near the nail, but should not be used on the nails.

In most cases, an oral antifungal, such as terbinafine or itraconazole, will be used for nail fungus.

Ketoconazole is applied topically to the skin. It is typically applied one to two times a day, for two to six weeks, depending on your condition.

Be sure to use it for the full treatment length. Stopping early can cause the infection to return. If you do not notice an improvement within two weeks, reach out to your provider.
