Candid Dusting Powder | Derma Care | Clinically Proven | For Fungal Infection, Sweat Rash, Skin Irritation & Itching

Candid dusting powder is an antifungal formulation. It contains clotrimazole, which targets the fungal cell membrane synthesis and inhibits the growth of fungi.

Candid powder is used to treat and prevent fungal skin infections, commonly caused by sweat and moisture. These may include ringworm, athlete’s foot, and jock itch. It also helps manage fungal sweat rash on the back, neck, and shoulders. The powder helps ease the symptoms of skin irritation, such as redness, swelling, or rashes. It can also provide relief from itching in the intimate body parts, underarms, inner thighs, waistline, or feet.

The powder is easy to use and can be applied as directed on clean, dry skin. If symptoms do not improve within one-two weeks, you should see a doctor. The powder can be used in combination with clotrimazole cream or spray to treat fungal skin infections or alone to help prevent re-infection. The powder is for external use only and should not be used on the scalp, nails, eyes, or inside the mouth. In case of accidental contact with the eyes or mouth, rinse thoroughly with water and seek medical help.

Side effects are usually mild and may include irritation such as burning, stinging, redness, or itching at the application site. If symptoms worsen or persist, discontinue use and consult a doctor. Do not use this powder if you are allergic to clotrimazole or any other ingredient in this cream.

This powder is for the treatment of fungal skin infections and related symptoms and is not a substitute for proper medical assessment. Always talk to a doctor to know whether the rash is fungal or if it does not improve with treatment.
