Over a decade microbial infections of the skin are increasing day by day tremendously. There are a lot treatments for this till now and scientist are working to find out the new treatments. One of these infections is fungal infection of the skin, which generally cause the itching of the skin due to the growth of the fungus. There may be many causes of the fungal infection previously there are many treatments for the fungal infection like clotrimzole, fluconazole, itraconazole, sertaconazole but these are having some side effects so we are working to find out the treatment for the fungal infections from the herbal drugs like coconut oil neem and crcumin extract. These show synergistic action for the treatment of various microbial infections with the lesser side effects.comparitive studies are being done to check whether they show better therapeutic effect or not. Various methods been adopted for the formulation of the ointments like fusion method and emulsification method. Emulsified ointments are the type of ointments which are having better wash ability. Evaluation of the ointment is being done by evaluating various physicochemical and chemical evaluation.

Keywords: tremendously, emulsified, synergistic.
