-Ketoconazole cream, sometimes referred to as "K-cream," is a topical cream or shampoo that some patients have noticed reduces sun flare or light-driven immunopathology. Although ketoconazole cream was once recommended to MP patients, the recommendation that patients routinely use K-cream has been withdrawn. Like the other antifungals, ketoconazole cream may inhibit bacteria die-off, especially in the skin areas where it has the highest concentration.

-Patients for whom light sensitivity is a problem should consider zinc oxide as an alternative for preventing moderate symptoms associated with sun exposure that cannot be avoided. For some of the most severely sun sensitive, ketoconazole cream or shampoo seems to work better for preventing or reducing sun flare symptoms, but for others, zinc oxide seems to work better.

Both may have inhibitory effects on the immune response.
