Quinol cream is used to treat skin infections caused by bacterial infections. It contains an active ingredient that works as a topical antibiotic that helps eliminate bacteria that cause inflammation, redness, and swelling in the skin. It is also used in cases such as boils, infected wounds, abscesses, and minor skin infections that may appear in different areas of the body. It can also be used in cases of acne accompanied by bacterial infection to reduce spread and speed up healing. Quinol cream helps relieve itching, scaling, and irritation associated with infection and provides a protective layer on the skin that prevents the condition from worsening. It is usually used by applying a thin layer to the affected area two to three times daily, as directed by the doctor.
