Quick tips
- Apply a thin layer of Candid-B Lotion to clean, dry skin as directed by your doctor.
- Candid-B Lotion is for external use only. Avoid contact with the eyes, mouth, or inside the vagina, and rinse thoroughly with water if accidental contact occurs.
- Wash your hands before and after applying Candid-B Lotion unless your hands are the treated area.
- Do not cover the treated area with airtight dressings or tight bandages unless advised by your doctor.
- Use Candid-B Lotion only for the duration prescribed, as prolonged or unsupervised use of steroid-containing creams may thin the skin.
- Avoid applying Candid-B Lotion on large areas, the face, or private areas unless advised by your doctor.
- Do not mix Candid-B Lotion with other steroid creams or topical medicines unless instructed by your doctor.
- Keep the affected skin clean and dry, as moisture and humidity may worsen fungal infections.
- Stop using Candid-B Lotion and consult your doctor if severe burning, irritation, or worsening of the infection occurs.
- Consult your doctor if the infection spreads or does not improve after about 2 weeks of treatment.
- Do not share Candid-B Lotion with others, even if they have similar symptoms.
