Ofloxacin is used to treat bacterial infections of the skin, such as impetigo, folliculitis, and cellulitis. It works by stopping the growth of bacteria and preventing the spread of infection.

Ofloxacin is typically recommended for individuals who have been diagnosed with a bacterial skin infection and are experiencing symptoms such as redness, itching, and pain.

Ofloxacin is generally safe for use on all skin types, however, individuals with sensitive skin or a history of allergic reactions to antibiotics may want to consult with their dermatologist before using it.

Ofloxacin is typically used topically as a cream or ointment and should be applied to the affected area of the skin as directed by your dermatologist. It is important to follow the instructions on the label and to use the medication for the full course of treatment, even if symptoms improve before the medication is finished. Avoid using the medication on open wounds or near the eyes, nose, or mouth. It’s best to use it after consulting with a dermatologist.
