Locacorten is a topical antifungal and anti-inflammatory cream that often comes in the form of a cream or ear drops. It contains hydrocortisone, a steroidal anti-inflammatory, and an imidazole, such as clotrimazole or econazole, as an antifungal. This medication is used to treat skin or ear infections caused by fungi, such as fungal otitis externa or fungal infection with dermatitis. Locacorten works to relieve itching, redness, and swelling, while eliminating the fungal infection. It should be used as directed by a doctor and not for long periods to avoid the side effects associated with cortisone.
