Effect of JRK's AF-Antifungal cream in treating cutaneous mycoses.
- Study was done to find out the effect of JRK’s AF antifungal cream on stratum corneum cells and its role in impairing fungal adhesion on the skin.
- The superficial cutaneous mycoses always limit their colonization to stratum corneum cells which are non-nucleated, dead, sclero-protein deposition.
Study findings
- JRK’s AF anti-fungal cream is effective in removing all the senescent stratum corneum cells which would affect the availability of predominantly the damaged and desquamated stratum corneum cells for fungal colonization.
- Annulling the adhesion mechanism of fungi may offer a better solution for cutaneous mycoses such as Dermatophytoses (Ring Worm), Pityriasis and Candidiasis.

The findings presume that JRK’s AF anti-fungal cream will be quite effective for treating cutaneous mycoses.
