How it works
Stemin GM Cream is a combination of Betamethasone, Gentamicin, and Miconazole. Betamethasone works by inhibiting the release of certain chemical substances in the body that cause swelling, redness, and itching of the skin. Gentamicin works by stopping the growth and multiplication of bacteria. Thus, it eventually kills them. Miconazole works by damaging the protective covering of the fungi.
