Benefits of Cico Lotion

In Fungal skin infections

Cico 1% Lotion is used to treat skin infections caused by fungi. It works by killing and stopping the growth of fungi. This provides relief from various symptoms, such as pain and itching, caused by the infection and speeds up the healing process. You should keep using it for as long as it is prescribed even if your symptoms have gone. This will prevent the infection from coming back. Using this medicine as prescribed may help you feel more comfortable with your skin.

In Fungal nail infections

Cico 1% Lotion kills a wide variety of fungi that cause nail infections. It is easy to apply and has very few side effects. Using this medicine will restore your finger- or toenails to a healthy condition but it takes time because healthy nails take a long time to grow. You should keep using it until healthy nails have grown back. This will prevent the infection from returning. Do not use nail varnish on nails that you are treating.
