CANDID CREAM 30 GM 1 tube

Candid Cream 

Candid Cream is used to treat athlete’s foot, jock itch, ringworm, and other fungal skin diseases. This medication is also used to treat the skin condition pityriasis (flaking or scaling of the skin). Candid Cream eliminates the fungus responsible for the infection. Candid Cream eliminates the infection by allowing viral components to escape through pores in the cell membrane. The illness is healed as the fungus is eradicated.

Candid Cream should only be used to the skin; if it goes into your eyes, mouth, or nose, rinse with water. Candid Cream should be administered to the affected area using a clean cotton swab or gauze pad. To avoid unwanted side effects, the recommended dose of Candid Cream should not be exceeded. Some of the typical side effects of Candid Cream ointment include burning, itching, redness, stinging, and dryness of the skin in the region where it is applied. Rash, itching, swelling, and hypotension are all indications of an allergic reaction that is very sensitive (skin hypersensitivity reaction). If an allergic response becomes severe, immediately consult a physician.
