Information about Candid Cream
Candid Cream is primarily useful for fungal infections of the skin such as athlete’s foot, jock itch, ringworm and other fungal skin infections. This medication is also beneficial for the skin conditions known as pityriasis (flaking or scaling of the skin).
It belongs to the class of anti-fungal medications known as imidazoles, primarily used to treat fungal skin infections such as athlete’s foot, ringworm, fungal nappy rash, fungal sweat rash and thrush. A fungal infection, also known as mycosis, is a skin infection caused by fungus.
It comprises clotrimazole, which works by destroying the fungus that causes the infection. Candid Cream 50 gm damages the fungal cell membrane and causes the components to leak out, thus killing the fungus and curing the infection.
In some cases, It may cause itching, redness, dryness, burning and stinging sensation. The majority of these side effects eventually fade away over time without the need for medical intervention. Consult your doctor if any side effects worsen or persist.
