Travocort Cream is a combination topical medication used to treat inflammatory skin conditions accompanied by fungal or yeast infections. It contains Isoconazole nitrate, an antifungal agent, and Diflucortolone valerate, a corticosteroid that reduces redness, itching, and swelling. Together, they help relieve symptoms such as irritation, itching, burning, and inflammation caused by fungal infections like athlete’s foot, jock itch, and ringworm.
