There are numerous questions surrounding the use of Funbact A. One of the popular ones is the question, can I mix funbact A with my lotion?
For simplicity’s sake, without wasting much time, I will be jumping right into answering this question because of how serious the topic is.
Can I Mix Funbact A With My Lotion?
No, you shouldn’t mix funbact A with or into your body lotion or face cream. This is a dangerous act and could lead to serious skin problems. Do not use Funbact A for skin lightening either.
Funbact A is an anti-fungal, anti-bacterial tube cream used for treating core skin reactions and problems associated with bacterial, eczema, skin fungal, and certain skin inflammation, as well as athlete’s foot, jock itch, and ringworm.
If you don’t have any of the above skin reactions, there shouldn’t be any reason why you should be mixing it into your lotion.
Funbact A contains Betamethasone, Clotrimazole, and Neomycin Sulphate. These ingredients treat specific skin problems and shouldn’t be used in high doses or continuously.
Betamethasone is a strong steroid recommended by doctors to treat certain skin problems but only for a short time. One of its side effects is that it lightens the skin even when the user doesn’t want it to.
Because of its lightening effect on the skin, some people misuse it by mixing it into their skin lotions or creams. And this is not right. At first, you might be enjoying your skin color and the effect this mixture is giving to your skin, but in the long run, it will cause serious skin damage like skin burn, skin sensitivity, stinging, skin thinning, stretch marks, spider veins, and even skin infections.
These skin problems that it causes can be irreversible or costly to cure, so it’s best not to engage in them at first.
Can I Mix Funbact A With Vaseline?
No, don’t mix Funbat A with Vaseline. It’s dangerous to the skin and can cause serious skin problems. The problem it causes to your skin is the same as I explained above. Some people might think that since you’re mixing it with Vaseline, which has no or less harmful ingredient in it, therefore it’s safe to be used on the skin.
It’s still not. The negative long-term implications it will have on your skin are highly irreversible.
In addition, I have heard some mothers say they use the mixture of ‘Funbact A with Vaseline’ or ‘Funbact A with shea butter’ for their babies. Please don’t do this; This is not right!
As I mentioned, this tube cream contains steroids and is extremely dangerous for kids to use as a body lotion or body cream.
Can I Use Funbact A as My Body Cream?
No, Funbact A shouldn’t be used as a body cream. This tube cream is a treatment cream, meaning you’ll only be targeting or rubbing this cream to specific spots or places where you have the skin problem.
Using this cream anyway, aside from this, means you’re misusing it.
If anyone advises using it as a body cream, please disregard it. You don’t want to damage your skin.
Here are some good body lotions and creams that can give you a great brighter complexion without skin damage.
How to Apply Funbact A Cream: The Right Way
Below is how to apply Funbact A cream the proper way to prevent skin damage or skin. Remember, only use this tube cream if you have eczema, seborrhoeic dermatitis, prurigo nodularis, psoriasis, and other types of skin fungal and skin bacteria.
- First, ensure your hands are clean by washing your hands to prevent the transmission of more bacteria to the affected area.
- Then, clean the surface of the affected area with warm or cool water to remove debris.
- Pat dry the area.
- Then, put a small to medium amount of funbact A on your finger(s) and rub it on the affected area.
- Depending on the affected area’s severity, you can do this three times a day.
- Stop usage when you notice the issue is gone. This should be within a week of usage.
To treat skin infections in kids
- It shouldn’t be used on children below the age of 2.
- When used to treat skin problems in a child, according to NAFDAC, even if the skin problem doesn’t go, do not continue usage after five days.
- Though, I will advise it best to consult your doctor before using it on kids because there are better treatments for skin reactions or skin irritation for kids that don’t contain a steroid.
