I'm dealing with a fungal infection in my private area and I'm thinking about using sapat lotion. Im a bit concerned though, does it have any steroids in it? Just want to make sure it's safe to use down there.

Sapat lotion contains clobetasol propionate, a potent topical steroid, which may not be suitable for fungal infections; instead, consider using an antifungal cream like Clotrimazole (Candid) or Miconazole (Micatin) to treat the fungal infection in your private area.
