Question 2

Can we use Entofoam Foam in infections?

Accepted Answer

Entofoam Foam is not an antimicrobial or antifungal agent. It is a steroid medication. It should not be used in infections. As a corticosteroid, it suppresses the immune system and increases the risk of infections. Bacterial infections are prone to worsen if the infection is covered with a dressing after using Entofoam Foam. In case the inflammatory lesions get infected or there is any spread of infection, consult your doctor immediately. The doctor will withdraw the use of Entofoam Foam and provide appropriate antimicrobial therapy.
